Thanks. This is done by subscribing an email address to the list. Then,
when emails come to that address, we pick up the closest IP or domain
name to the user that we can find from the email header. This is then
looked up in an IP->location database and put on a map.
In case you want to try it
Good point. Will be interesting to see how different languages email
lists map out. There is a German email list of Apache users.
We'll start a map of that as well and see how it develops. Let me know
if you know of other languages.

FWIW, it has me in completely the wrong part of the country, in an
area that
is not my address, nor my company's registered address, nor my ISP&
nk of this service.
Thanks for listening.
