Recap of the FOSS4G conference in Boston

May 16, 2017

Earlier this month, we attended FOSS4G in Boston, and we enjoyed it a lot. During the conference, we had two presentations, first, “The Unlikely Road to Advanced Open Source 3D Mapping Technology”, where Ondrej Prochazka described the decision to make vts-geospatial open-source. Second, “VTS 3D Map Streaming and Rendering Stack” described the vts-geospatial and its main components.
