After numerous live discussions, reader emails, reader comments and the poll itself, we are happy to welcome you to slashgeo.org! This is our new official name. It wasn't an easy decision and the name won't change again. The old URL will work for at least a year, but please update your bookmarks and mail rules if necessary.

We'll make the site reflect that change in the coming weeks as time allow. Time is also the new poll topic as some have already noticed. Expect a lower quantity of stories published during the holidays. We'll be back with replenished strengh in January! I sincerily wish great holidays to all :-)

Slashgeo's One Year Anniversary! 1 comment [+]

SlashGISRS, which was renamed Slashgeo, was launched one year ago! :-) There are so many geospatial news sources, I feel Slashgeo's offer of aggregated news is useful. As for its usefulness as a discussion platform, the future will tell us :-) My curiosity in regards to what's to come is whether Slashgeo will stay a tool useful to some, or become a tool useful to many. After over 1250 published stories and over 1000 comments from anonymous visitors and about 730 registered members, I plan to continue feeding the site regularly, even if there will be some slower weeks when I'm away from my office (such as last week and last April-May). Anyone willing to contribute is more than welcomed! Our values include communication, openness and transparency. I have learned *a lot* in the process and I believe it's true also for the other founding members. We will continue to improve the site and many interesting features which will augment the information architecture of Slashgeo are in the works and should be released in the coming months. Hope you enjoy the tool! :-)

  Congratulations on the name change. I like it. And [Happy Holidays|Merry Christmas|Happy Kwanzaa|Happy Chanuka] to all of you (you know how to do regexes, don't you?)

  Will it be the Geo [wikipedia.org] logo with a slash through it? Or maybe the slashed silhouette of a Geo Metro [wikipedia.org]?

  Is it just me, or is half the "o" in the slashgeo missing? I swear, it was there yesterday!
