Published Jun 18, 2012 Updated Mar 18, 2014

Petr Pridal from Klokan Technologies GmbH actively participated in the first one-week coding sprint of the core developers of OpenLayers open-source project coming from USA, Canada, France, Switzerland, Austria and Czech republic. The goal for this sprint was to lay the foundations of the future OpenLayers version 3.

OpenLayers is an open-source component for displaying maps, geodata and map services, and for creating modern interactive web applications for desktop and mobile devices like iPad, iPhone or Android. It is an open-source alternative to Google Maps API.

New version of OpenLayers is going to be compiled with Closure Tools - and benefit from all the minimization and advantages of this JavaScript platform described in the blog post: Closure Compiler for OpenLayers 3.x.
