Great meetup. If anyone is interested in working with Friends Of The Earth on the open source version of their mapping tool that they presented at the meeting then please join the Climate Change Coders meetup at www.meetup.com/London-Climate-Change-Coders and apply to join the Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cccoders-and-friends-of-the-earth-mapping-project where we will be discussing just this project.
