[Talk-GB] BBC & Microsoft gig in Ely, Sunday June 9

[Laurence Penney]

I thought OSM GB people might be interested in this:

The BBC and Microsoft are encouraging people to take lots of photos of 
Ely Cathedral, to be CC-licensed and then built into a whizzy 
Photosynth set by MS. Sunday's is the first of several similar events 
around the country.

Strictly, this is non-geographic since the location of bunch of images 
cannot be determined from them alone. The geometry that is determined 
is on arbitrary xyz axes, with scale arbitrary too.

I'm interested in the IP aspects of whether MS intend geometries 
determined by Photosynth to be freely sharable with others, for use in 
other 3D photo viewers.

Anyway, it would be good to meet up with other OSMers in Ely. Mobile 
07808 951894. I'll get there around 11.
