Last night I saw a tweet from Mike Migurski at Stamen about a San Francisco meetup called NoGIS.  Totally intriguing, so I followed the link, and they had the following quick desciption posted up:

Just got back from Barcelona yesterday where we were demoing our technology to folks from British Petroleum. They have developed a very robust and cool mashup with MS Virtual Earth.
