I am currently working on a google map API application which will allow LW/OB readers to add their location, hopefully encouraging those around them to form their own meetups. That might also make determining the next singularity summit location easier.
If there are any PHP/MySQL programmers who want to help I could def use some.
Neat idea! I missed this first time around, and so posted a comment on the open thread asking about creating some central regular-meetup info repo. Same general desire to connect people with meetups.
I know a little PHP (can create forms, WordPress themes/plugins and such, but I use other languages more often). Let me know how it's going and if I can be of any use.
Not google maps but http://www.frappr.com/ would do.
I looked into that but it lacks the database support that would be desired from this project. With LW owning the xml or php database, closest match algorithms can be built which optimize meeting locations for particular members.
That said, if the current LW developer wants to implement this I think it would at least be a start.
Sounds like something that likely has already been implemented somewhere.
I thought so too - however not in the implementation that I think is most user friendly.
Or developer-friendly, at any rate--but I must admit, frappr's AFLAX interface isn't the most stable on Linux.
St. Petersburg here, so I'm excited about hearing from Mr. Vassar in Sarasota, Orlando, and possibly Tampa.
Lets make concrete plans for Sarasota then, OK.
I'll be happy to see you while there. Hopefully more people will write on this thread and contribute to the decision about where to meet.
