David has asked me a few times now (and I said I would do it) to put together some sort of clickable map that people can use to see what is going on around the world with SRP.
Meetups and other events can be entered in pages on the forum, or the wiki, or whatever and be linked to from a map.
I have not done this in ages, and my abilities are barely exceeding that of the neanderthal when it comes to making something look good and easy to use, so please feel free to fix this or offer suggestions. I stole wikipedia's USA map and used gimp to play with it a little bit.
Maybe it's a start (I can't seem to make the imagemap work in VB so just click anywhere on the image below to go to the imagemap). Sorry I did not label the areas. Each color is meant to represent different locales - NE Events, SC events, etc. When you click on them it will take you to a locale-specific wiki page yet to be created

Of course the map should be worldwide and the US could probably be divided up much better, but like I say maybe this is a start to get a ball rolling. Oh man I can't believe I just remembered I told David I would have something ready before the Asheville meet. Sorry man I will try to do better. *sob*
I don't know how much Flash is used anymore but that would be cool to have some sort of interactive map - well, those are bells and whistles I guess. Make it work first, right?
