So if you’re in Bogotá next week  please join us and our friends at Kudos for GeoBeers at 6 p.m. on Wednesday  August 12 at the BW Buffalo Wings Capital Towers. We’ll chat about maps  web technologies  and all things data; please confirm your attendance here.

And last but not least  we’re excited to announce that Kudos will be launching the new QGISCartoDB plugin during the CartoDB-sponsored GeoBeers.
