Adobe User Groups International

The Adobe User Group International project is an easy way to find the Adobe User Group nearest to you all around the world.
In order to see the result you may follow this link http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=http://www.actionscript.it/ugs_map/aug-leaders.kml.
In order to add your group to the map you need to recover your geoocoding data from a service provider (for istance you may use the free service Zeesource http://www.zeesource.net/maps/geocoding.do) and send the data to the Administrator of the project at this e-mail address admin@actionscript.it in the following format specifying also in the subject the country

<Placemark>
<name>AUG name</name>
    <description>
      Leaders: <![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.ext/">Name and
Surname</a> ]]>
      and Name and Surname
      <![CDATA[ (<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.ext">site</a>) ]]>
    </description>
    <Point>
      <coordinates>-122.050766,37.392958,0</coordinates>
    </Point>
  </Placemark>

As an example, here is the REST request to get the latitude/longitude values for Jakarta, Indonesia:

http://www.zeesource.net/maps/geocode?city=Jakarta&state=&country=Indonesia

And the result you get back in the browser is:

   -6.174444,106.829444,Jakarta,Jakarta Raya,Indonesia

Please note that the response comes back with latitude as first value and longitude as the second value. In the KML file XML format, the values are expected in the opposite order. So, you need to reverse the order when placing them in your XML snippet for your Placemark. In this example, the resulting coordinates element with altitude set to zero would be:

   <coordinates>106.829444,-6.174444</coordinates>

For the USA groups please take care of this note: the value to use are "united states" for the country and for state use the full name. An example is

http://www.zeesource.net/maps/geocode?city=Alpharetta&state=Georgia&country
=United%20States> &state=Georgia&country=United%20States
