+RuberyBlue Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi All, Just for information: I am trying to maintain a calendar of all forthcoming events across the UK & Ireland in the GAGB forums. GAGB - So if you have day trips or holidays planned take a look and see if there's an event you could take in. - If your planning an event please feel free to check out any clashes and add your event details to the calendar. Regards RB KRO! Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Any chance of adding other British (but non-UK) events on; I'm thinking of the Isle of Man and the Channel Isles, where I have some next month. Otherwise, excellent work! Thanks for the update Quote Link to comment

+uk89camaro Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 It appears "what kicked it off" was a request from GAGB to stream event cache pages/data from the icache site. As you are aware the data agreement with Groundspeak is for the icache.co.uk domain only, and icache would be breaking that agreement by sharing the data with the GAGB. So, back on topic, does the OP have the correct permissions (which took a long time for icache to obtain), to list the events calender? Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Could the GAGB not ask Groundspeak for a"licence" to display Groundspeak data on their website? As an event orgainiser I'm more than happy for every caching site in the known universe to advertise my event, be that Groundspeak, GAGB, Local forums or ikache.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 As I understand it, since the cache listings for events are published for anyone to see, they're in the public domain and can freely be repeated elsewhere. It's the 'automated data-scraping' from gc.com which requires a licence, not the displaying of that information. If GAGB have tried to automate their calendar without going to GC.com directly, that could be the root of this issue. Quote Link to comment

+Haggis Hunter Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 but he's now threatening to link users Geocaching IDs to their real names. To be honest I don't really care about the rest, but if he is going to start displaying my personal details on his site, then I think I shall be posting a formal complaint to Groundspeak, as that is where he will get my details from. However, although I do not mistrust what you have said, I would like proof that he has indeed stated that he is going to do this. A link to a statement made by Webrat would suffice. I also agree there won't be any winners in this, and I think it will make Groundspeak a lot more wary of allowing contracts for people to scrape their website in the future Quote Link to comment
+Smurf Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Oh and he's just threatened a boycott of the GAGB on icache.co.uk I'm REALLY trying here, but i just can't figure out who would be bothered by this. Edited May 8, 2010 by Smurf Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 As I am always upfront and do not class anything I said on that Facebook chat session as derogatory I am quite happy to state the following: Richard Mullans = DrDick&Vick (GAGB Committee Member) Thanks to Simply Paul for his post above which seems to state what I think, all of the details that have been added to the Calender by a non committee member is sent out to everybody who recieves a weekly news letter and therefore is 100% PUBLIC information and is not obtained by scraping the GS database just by reading the newsletter. Quote Link to comment
+RuberyBlue Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Anyway, having hacked the Groundspeak servers I then proceeded to open up my regular weekly notifications email and spent over an hour manually clicking on each event link, copying the details into the GAGB calendar and saving. What we have is a calendar view of the events so far arranged across the UK, Ireland and various offshore tax havens (Simply ) As I believe the vast majority of cachers get this email every week I am simply transferring it into a more visually useful format. Ideally I'd like to see all events logged in here by the organisers but I'm more than happy to keep this updated as a useful resource. Incidentally, I think iCache is a valuable site and had no idea things would escalate into some petty 'rattles out the pram' sulk. Keep caching! RB KRO! Quote Link to comment

+*mouse* Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm not scared to hide behind a caching name either. Ali Evans = *mouse* What has kicked this whole thing off is an administrator from icache requesting that GAGB remove all the events from the GAGB calendar as icache is the only uk site to have a licence to obtain data directly from GC.com. This same administrator has upset uk cachers before over a number of different issues and so when this occured there was an amount of bad feeling that was very quickly inflamed. The point that needs to be made to icache is that the event details are in the public domain so the data is open to all to use. It was then painstakingly and manually added by a GAGB member to the GAGB calendar and therefore does not fall foul of any data usage agreements with Groundspeak. GAGB are not obliged to remove the data and the fact it is there is in my opinion to the benefit of all UK cachers. Personally I find it a bit cheap and below the belt that this person then felt it neccessary to obtain and then publish a private facebook conversation on a second forum and then allow it to be linked to in this thread. Whatever their motives were, I no longer have any respect for this individual as I think that action was immature. I have chosen not to use their resources any further. Quote Link to comment

I assume, as site admin, you'll have a record of the IP she connected from. I'll happily compare it with the one we're using. 2. I believe you might find that calling me an idiot violated this forums T&Cs. Would you like to retract your comment? 3. If we're talking cutting and pasting emails, maybe it's now time for Tim's original email to the GAGB to be posted so that everybody can see how this started? I notice you aren't being very forthcoming in forwarding the requests GAGB apparently made to icache to stream their data, either. Presumably you kept these, along with your responses?
