A few updates to round out your week.

** Opening Keynote Speaker
------------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to announce that Mike Bostock (http://bost.ocks.org/mike/) will 
be featured as the opening keynote speaker for FOSS4G 2014.

Bostock designs interactive graphics for The New York Times. He is also the 
author of D3.js (http://d3js.org) , a popular open-source library for 
visualizing data using web standards, and TopoJSON 
(https://github.com/mbostock/topojson) , an extension to GeoJSON that encodes 
topology.

D3.js is one of the most exciting visualization technologies to appear 
recently, and we're very excited to have Mike at FOSS4G. You can see some of 
his work at his website (http://bost.ocks.org/mike/) and be sure to check out 
his numerous elegant D3.js examples at http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock.
