Michael Stuyts created this great image when I was having a conversation with my pals on the FOSS4G Europe organising committee. We were talking about the intersection of interest in maps and beer amongst some of the FOSS4G ambassadors and Michael wanted to get in on the fun.
@foss4ge @vcraciunescu @CodrinaI @MarkusNeteler @StevenFeldman I already booked my ticket for @foss4ge and would love to join the #foss4ge2020 beer ambassadors. 🍺🍺🍺
My pal Ed Freyfogle sent me this pic of a model of Sao Miguel Island which he spotted whilst vacationing in the Azores.
A beautiful piece of map tattoo art from Michael.
I know nothing about Albuquerque or Carlsbad except that Neil Young wrote a song about Albuquerque:
Well, they say
that Santa Fe
Is less than ninety miles away,
And I got time to roll a number
and rent a car.
Oh, Albuquerque.

Angharad Stone shared this beautiful map book cover from her trip to Manchester
Ivan Sanchez pointed me to this map of the meridian of the Treaty of Tordesillas. The feet belong to Jose Gomez Castan and his friend Jordana standing either side of the meridian line.
Our friends at UK GovCamp sent us these pics of the decoration on their room at the Premier Inn Hun near the event and then John Ivers of CDR sent me some slightly better pics. This neighbourhoods map is in the same style as the one from Edinburgh that one of the FOSS4GUK delegates sent us a while back.
We need to gather a complete set of these Hub maps
Angharad Stone was in Manchester for the day and I challenged her to send me a Map in the Wild. So here she is at Victoria Station with this magnificent railway map
This car parts dealer has a simple outline map of the US which could almost be an election map
Reinder Storm shared this Dutch pack of Italian sea salt
“A package with ‘Italian’ sea salt. Seen at the counter of a coffee bar at the central railway station, The Hague, The Netherlands”
David Henderson of Ordnance Survey shared this magnificent map table from a coffee place in Edinburgh. It’s a beautiful map but I am not sure the MD (or Chief Geospatial Officer as he is now known) should be sharing a risqué map with Shetland in a box, the cafe might get referred to the Scottish Government.
