Schedule

This event provides a great opportunity for collaboration. Participants can use the time to discuss important project topics, pair program, resolve bugs, build consensus, or tinker on new ideas. It's also a great time to collaborate with peers from other projects and learn more about their work and how the OpenJS Foundation can support these efforts.

Full Agenda TBD

Hello! I built NEW HEAT with DeckGL and figured i'd plug it in here for some feedback on how I could promote it or use it to make this Open Vis summit a little more exciting!

I am no longer working on it regularly, but plan to come back to it when I have some more data to add, or some new features when I have more time.

Would love to hear some thoughts!

If anyone sees this above project, finds this interesting, and wants to try to make some money with it, I want to submit it to the Google Photorealistic 3D Maps Challenge after a couple visualization improvements. I dont have as much time as I would like to work on it, but I definitely see the story and the existing work to serve a as very sellable foundation for the objectives of the hackathon. If you want to help me work on it, we can split the prize money.
