[ogdcamp] Countries for OGDCamp

(cc'ing open-government list)

I was thinking that it would be really nice to have a video camera set
up and we could have 30 second updates from people working on open
data around the world. This could be augmented with contributions from
the web.

Does anyone know about geolocating video clips and displaying them on a map?

We could call it 'The Great Open Data Census'. ;-)
