Hi,
Taking forward the previous work of automating the ambassadors list, I just committed a new scrip[1] into fama trac.
This will extract the location data from the fas and generate a text (or whatever) file, which can be used to generate ambassadors map.
A proof of concept map using google map (I know its not free and can not be used for our purpose) is here. [2] Warning: This may take a bit time to render.
The problem being, which mapping software should we use?
1. Google map - non free. 2. Shomyu - Bochecha (the creator) does not seem to like the idea of using this for the particular purpose. 3. OSM - Does not have a nice api for creating a standalone map.
I am out of my ideas about the mapping app, please suggest.
Thanks.

MirrorManager and DrJef's maps both use matplotlib, basemap, and GeoIP.

Fine, thanks. But mirrormanager map is a collection of dots showing locations, i.e, a non interactive map.
Is it possible to add something like onclick(popup message) to the map using above technique thus making it interactive?
Thanks.

Use OpenLayers to create the front end using Open Street Map as the backend source for the map.
