The program for FOSS4G NA 2016, coming up in May, is now available. All of the accepted talks look great. We’re especially looking forward to the ones that will be covering Cesium. As you put together your schedule for the conference, be sure to check out these sessions:

  • 3D Tiles: Beyond 2D Tiling, by Sean Lilley, Cesium, and Patrick Cozzi, Cesium.
  • Australia’s NationalMap: Open Data and Open Source Down Under, by Steve Bennett, Data61, and Kevin Ring, Data61.

We’re gratified by everyone in the Cesium community who submitted a proposal. The number and variety of proposals submitted demonstrates just how prominent Cesium has become as the go-to choice for building virtual globes. We hope to see all of you at FOSS4G NA, whether you’re speaking, attending, or just stopping by the exhibits hall. Be sure to register soon!
