Cesium at FOSS4G NA 2016

Sarah Chow

Proposals are coming in for FOSS4G NA, and we are excited for the conference. The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference is one of our favorite events of the year!

The early bird deadline was January 22 (the final proposal deadline is February 8, so there’s still time to get your idea in), and the proposals look great. We’re thrilled by how many of them cover Cesium. Check out the proposals, and don’t forget to vote for the ones you’d like to see at FOSS4G NA.
