DESCRIPTION:"Society is being transformed by new maps and new mapping techn
 ology.  Our mission is to help create a free forum for people to talk about
 \, present\, explore\, and learn about projects that involve place."\n\n<st
 rong>What is WhereCamp PDX?</strong>\n\nWhereCampPDX is a free unconference
  focusing on all things geographical and cartographical. This informal meet
 ing of minds welcomes all geo-locative enthusiasts\, anyone who asks "where
  am I" or feels the need to "know their place".\n\nWe share a vision of a f
 ully transparent world where data is geographically relevant and just in ti
 me.\n\nAn unconference is a conference planned by the participants\, we all
  convene together\, plan sessions\, and have break-outs into sessions.  Thi
 s gives everybody an opportunity to bring to the table the things that inte
 rest them the most and lets us talk about new topics that are still new and
  exploratory.  Part of what is important to hearing new voices and getting 
 new ideas is lowering barriers to participation - this event is free and it
  is driven by the participants.\n\n<strong>What kinds of people and topics 
 will be discussed?</strong>\n\nThis event is community driven and is what y
 ou make it.  It provide cross pollination between many different kinds of f
 olks from all walks of life.  Topics may include remote sensing\, geoinform
 atics\, forestry and agriculture\, food chain transparency\, civil engineer
 ing\, emergency disaster relief\, urban planning\, local search\, context a
 wareness\, place hacking\, social cartography\, citizen journalism\, locati
 ve gaming\, psychogeography\, locative art\, and beyond. Expect to particip
 ate in conversations on the nature of place as described in pixels\, with r
 ays\, on paper\, and by social practice!\n\nTags:\ncartography\, geography\
