Dear readers, after a short break and now being the happy new father of a little girl named Vickie, I hope to resume geonews aggregation in the coming days/weeks. I plan to catch-up and share the most pertinent geonews published during the last two weeks for our readers. Sincere thanks to the valuable other Slashgeo editors and user contributions for that period. For 2008, my goals regarding Slashgeo.org are to focus on quality, improved services and the sharing of geonews aggregation effort to ensure long term viability: your inputs and contributions are essential!
Our last poll about whether geospatial industry acquisition are beneficial or not gave mixed results: out of 58 answers, 25% think this is rather good, 34% say it doesn't matter much, while 39% claim this is rather bad or terrible news. The new poll ask our readers about what's exciting you for 2008.

New Poll on Industry Acquisitions and Results on Presence on the Web
[+]
Last poll received little interest, out of the 38 responders, votes have been mostly evenly distributed, with this to note: only 7% said geospatial inroads on the web exceeded their expectations while 28% said the industry could have been much more innovative. The new poll asks what you think of the significant industry acquisitions this year, such as NAVTEQ/Nokia and TomTom/Tele Atlas, are such acquisitions a good thing or not?
Happy Holidays - You Won't Miss Any Geonews
[+]
I wish all our readers a great holiday time. Rest reassured, Slashgeo.org will cover the most pertinent geonews published in the coming weeks when we'll get back to full speed. With the happy coming of my wife and I's first baby, I can't guarantee the pace at which I'll share geostories, but I'll make serious efforts not to leave in the dark our thousands of daily readers. There's also many new Slashgeo editors which joined since last summer which will help aggregate geonews for the community. We have many great plans regarding the improvement of Slashgeo for 2008, however, with the little resources we have, I can't promise any deadline. Next year will be crucial to Slashgeo's long term survival. Thanks a lot to all who supported us and have a great holiday time.
