Leaving…

San FranciscoFinally, after a very dense May, I’m ready to leave for vacations tomorrow. The next 23 days I’m going to spend in sunny California! My plan is to stay a week in San Francisco, 4 days in San Jose at the Where 2.0 conference (incl. the warm-up on monday at the Googleplex), a few days traveling along the coast between San Jose and Los Angeles and at the end another week in San Francisco. I’m pretty looking forward to leave tomorrow!

Recommendations for places worth visiting in that area are very welcome (I already checked Platial and Tagzania for nice S.F. spots…).

After everything I’ve been told, San Francisco must be an amazing town. I never had the chance to go there before, so I’m pretty curious about it – the city, the people and the atmosphere.

For the Where 2.0: I’m glad to see that the program advanced very much during the last weeks. The first chosen subtitle (“Where is the value?”) was, IMHO, a little poor. I guess the talks about Open Source in combination with free accessible APIs will be very interesting. Of course the topics around social networking, user added data and privacy will be a hot topic there.

Since my background is more GIS than mashup, it’s almost obligatory for me to carefully listen what Mr Jack Dangermond has to say at Where 2.0.

On Plazes I turned the tracking-feature on, so you can, if you want, watch my route here.
