We've been doing a lot of mapping work lately so it was great to see what other people are up to. One of our most recent projects was to integrate our mapping stack with Google Earth. Here's a screencast showing how it works, http://screencast.com/t/0rvNcjY9bxG. It's live here if you'd like to check it out, http://preparedness.interaction.org. Zoom in on the country you want KML for and then scroll to the bottom to export the data -- save it as a file first, then open it in Google Earth.  This was a very interesting meetup, and I’m glad to see the resources mentioned posted here.
