OpenLayers and the ESRI RESTful API
There is more going on with OpenLayers and the ESRI REST API than you probably know (I keep finding more and more that I didn’t know about every day). As more people start using OpenLayers with the ESRI ArcGIS Server we’ll hopefully get it integrated into the OpenLayer code. For now you can grab some of the code from the OpenLayer Wiki and start using OpenLayers with your ArcGIS Server applications. People are doing amazing things with OpenLayers including this example with ArcGIS Server?(which doesn’t use the REST API, but it is still wonderful) from the Long Island Index.
Wouldn’t the ESRI JavaScript API page look better with OpenLayers?

Update (12-24-2008): OpenLayers now has some case studies online as well.
Ready to present at the 2009 ESRI Developer Summit?
Looks like user presentations are a go at the 2009 ESRI Dev Summit.
At this point, it looks like we’re going to have about 10-15 scheduled slots. The capacity of the room will be between 50 and 70, so it should end up being a more interactive experience if you want it to be. This room will be part of the “Showcase” area, which is the central hub of the event. Then in the weeks leading up to the DevSummit, registered attendees will be able to vote so that particularly popular sessions can be moved into larger capacity rooms.
So get your presentation figured out and submit it. You have until February 9th to get it in.

The State of OpenAerialMap
Remember OAM? People sort of remember the project and then they can’t figure out what happened to it. Well Christopher Schmidt, fresh off the reboot of SpatialReference.org, is trying to energize the community again. Even the Wikipedia entry needs work.
The data owner says Go Away!

Yahoo! Fire Eagle survives the cuts
The Yahoo! Brickhouse closing put some projects in jeopardy, but apparently Fire Eagle is “alive and well”.
Rest assured that whilst Brickhouse may be gone, Fire Eagle itself lives and thrives within the Yahoo! Geo Technologies Group. Fire Eagle has been, and will continue to be, a core component of Yahoo’s Geo Technology and User Location strategies and we’re committed to developing features, applications and support without interruption.
Fire Eagle and Pipes are two of Yahoo!’s better projects and hopefully the problems at Yahoo! won’t hurt their development.
