CartoDB at FOSS4G 2014

Soon, CartoDB will join the largest open-source geospatial conference, FOSS4G with a permanent presence. As a leading open-source project, we’re excited about this event and will be sending several members of the CartoDB team to Portland to participate. We look forward to showing you what sets the CartoDB GIS cloud apart, and hope to see you at our following sessions and workshops:
