Some great links here, I definitely need the help decluttering and I'm really glad to see an open source world map showing up. Open source projects like these deserve more press than they get.
Some good links, I've already started work on de-cluttering my life. I was really fascinated by the OpenStreetMap link and video shared here. Open source is starting to be some of the most used software in the world today.
