Today Javier Alvarez made a great presentation at #FOSS4G on how to use HTML5 new technologies for web mapping.
In front of a packed room full of geo geeks, he demoed several of our most innovative projects in terms on web mapping. Unfortunately we dont have the video, but at least we can show you his great slides. Which for an extra geek factor, he developed on HTML and JS with embedded maps and so on. Pity you could not see it, because he georeferenced live where to go and eat spanish serrano ham!
“A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place (such as a forest, mountain, lake, desert, monument, building, complex, or city) that is listed by the UNESCO as of special cultural or physical significance.” Wikipedia.
Today we are launching UNESCOplaces.org, an unofficial redesign proposal of the UNESCO site using our new product CartoSet.
CartoSet is an Open Source Framework to publish and curate a geospatial dataset in simple and beautiful ways. Internally, CartoSet makes use of our upcoming Open Source Geospatial Database on the Cloud, CartoDB.
We are still cleaning code and making it easier for deployment and we will release all the source code at FOSS4G in Denver next week. If you want to learn more about CartoSet and CartoDB join us at the following presentations:
So today’s launch of UNESCOplaces.org is the first of many upcoming beautiful geospatial sites. We already have a number of people committed and developing their own sites, and starting next week everyone will be able to join the community.
We hope you like it and we look forward to meeting you at FOSS4G.
One mor year FOSS4G is here. The most important conference on Geospatial Open Source software will take place this year at Denver, and we will be there. Actually big part of Vizzuality will be there: @saleiva @tokumin @xavijam and @jatorre
This is a very important year for us. We will be presenting lots of new developments that we have been working for a long time and that we will be releasing. More specifically expect to hear from us about CartoDB and CartoSet quite a lot.
We are presenting also quite a bit, look for these sessions to learn about our projects and Open Source Products.
We are very excited to participate and attend the great presentations we see in the program.
Finally we will be staying in a nice penthouse downtown with the good people from UNEP-WCMC. We will probably be hacking one day during the week on CartoSet and CartoDB for environmental datasets. If you feel like joining us let us know!
Looking forward to meet everybody!
We are specially thrilled to announce that Vizzuality is sponsoring this year FOSS4G to be held in Barcelona.
This year is specially remarkable for two reasons: FOSS4G is coming to Spain and 2010 is the Biodiversity International Year. We are working hard to prepare a track specific about Open Source GIS software and Biodiversity and Conservation in general. We are looking for interested partners to help us organizing it and willing to participate.
Looking forward to seeing everybody from the Biodiversity Informatics community there.
