#2 Open Source projects abound

This was probably the tip of the iceberg regarding open source projects but all of this was covered at a high level with some showing off demos as well.

GeoGig – http://geogig.org/
GeoServer – http://geoserver.org/
WindShaft – https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft
Static Tiles with TileMill https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill
GeoTrellis – http://geotrellis.io/
CesiumJS – http://cesiumjs.org/
G3M – https://github.com/glob3mobile/g3m

All great but my favorite as CesiumJS, amazing what they accomplished.
