        • Chat with Pete Edwards about node funding:
          • Georgios has been in contact trying to harmonise proposals :-)
          • Pete is thinking about continuation of Policy Grid focusing on Rural simulation that integrates socio-economic and bio-physical models.
            • I mentioned the Sustainable uplands project at Leeds funded under RELU.
            • Pete mentioned that there is a similar sounding RELU project being managed at Aberdeen.
              • I appreciate that there is some overlap between the RELU projects and also Policy Grid work.
        • Chat with Andy Hudson-Smith:
          • Large Scale Changes in Small Pieces:
            • Considered that the amount of green space being lost in urban areas might be more than just the area. Perception requires perspective and I was thinking about the voxel based visualisation/viewshed work of Justin Washtell.
          • Cartograms
        • Introduction
          • Use of personal electronic equipment has been banned during sessions:
            • That's made things tricky again!
            • It would be good to have an event like this when it wasn't banned for a change.
            • I can't see myself sticking to the rules throughout as I'm bound to get annoyed and run out of paper or ink or need some information or something...
        • Node Reports
          • GeoVUE
            • MapTube
              • Metadata for maps
              • Andy Hudson-Smith reckons that they have not considered how this might work with GRADE. Perhaps they should. I sense a repository discussion on the horizon.
