[edit] in brief:

Many of this workshop's participants anticipate the development of cartographic and wireless tactical media tools based on a near future vision of the net that is locally centered on individuals and communities in space. While this practical focus on emergent technologies may be peripheral to debates elsewhere in N5M, the workshop is, nonetheless, concerned with tool building with a socially responsible, if not explicitly activist agenda.

aims:

[edit] social

look at some new projects and take advantage of the likelyhood that lots of very interesting people come to n5m who might have something to show.
establish a series of meetings, quarterly maybe, to get some sense of continuity, new input, new people and growth, rather than trotting out the same stuff every time we meet.

[edit] practical

an opportunity continue work on the results of existing projects usch as the waag's realtime data
get some new software development underway, release dates planned, tasks delegated, systems in operation. Not actually software dev then and there, but organising a useful and planned process.
draw together locative/cartographic and FreeNetworks projects that will be at n5m and try to get software development planned.

[edit] theoretical

the themes are dreams in a 'CriticalCartography' workshop seem pretty orthogonal to the rest of the n5m programme as it stands. This would be a good chance to take advantage of the n5m's top notch festival goers and solicit some critical and tactical concerns about our projects.
- Eg: the institute of applied autonomy's work on iSee - they did an open vector map of the centre of amsterdam in a previous project, and the in-development version of their software uses RDF for attaching and annotating media objects.
