Today Ed chats with long-time OpenStreetMap contributor Gregory Marler about the upcoming State of the Map (SotM), the annual OpenStreetMap conference, which will take place online from July 9-11. Gregory is a member of the organizing committee, as he has been for many years. We discuss the format of this year's event, why someone should attend, and what attendees can look forward to. We then reminisce about past SotM's, and speculate about whether we will see a repeat of past geosinging

This week's guest is Neil Ackroyd. He and Steven look back on Neil's long career in mapping and surveying, including the introduction of GPS and the transition to digital processes. He reflects on the many changes to the industry, especially in the context of decades spend in different senior roles at the UK's Ordnance Survey, including two terms as acting Chief Executive. But rather than just looking backwards, the conversation then turns to the topic of "sustainable" mapping

She shares how geospatial standards are crafted, and some of the new technologies and areas where work is currently being done. While we were unable to definitively resolve the lat/lon vs lon/lat debate, we do discuss the case of OpenStreetMap, the balance between standards
