I remember something similar I saw a while ago. The Debian developers
have an automatically generated map that shows their locations. It looks
like the input file is just a text file with coordinates. That shouldn't
be *too* difficult to generate automatically, but again, who has time to
write the script?
Here's their info:
http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc
They also used it to figure out where would be the most central location
for a conference.

I've often wondered where the center of the DML membership is (i.e. if
there are enough members in Texas that the center is someplace really far
south of the geographic center of the continent).
