As part of the annual GISRUK conference this year (which was held at Portsmouth, I organised an unprogramme session in the spirit of Where Camp. This is something new to the attendees of GISRUK but nevertheless it gave the project team the chance to introduce the project and debate some of the issues we have been engaging with as a team. One of the discussions centred on the idea that if GIS were a language – what would be the equivalent of saying, “hello, my name is Kate”.

The simplest is displaying a map of a certain area (maybe a pre-specified scale?) and adding a marker. It's like saying "I am here" instead of "I am Kate". Or is that too easy?
