Week in DC Tech: June 6 (Abridged) Version


Week in DC Tech

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to write the Week in DC Tech roundup until just now, meaning that I missed events like the DC Tech Meetup last night on big data. However, there are a lot technology events happening this week that I want to post about – so here goes. The better late than never Week in DC Tech roundup : )

WhereCampDC Ignite Spatial: Want to get up to speed on mapping technologies, fast? Come out to Ignite Spatial for a series of five minutes talks on 14 different topics like making a 3D mobile map of Washington, DC and tracking the Spanish Revolution through maps. We’ll be there to talk about our open source tool TileMill, and how you can use it to create custom maps like these.
