Ivan Sanchez Ortega is on sabbatical and describes himself as a geek interested in games, hacking, and military GIS. He discusses concepts from game theory like zero-sum and non-zero-sum games. He notes that geospatial data and systems can be viewed as a game with multiple participants pursuing different goals like making money or achieving happiness. Open sharing and cooperation, rather than hoarding information, is presented as the best approach for all involved.

- 104. I just wanted to let you know that your work on improving the Haiti maps is really appreciated here. A few days ago I installed a version on my Garmin Oregon GPS and the result is impressive. It has already saved me and my driver from getting lost twice, and the alternative would have been long delays. Kjeld Jensen, Red Cross
