I have somehow ended up maintaining a few open source projects related to Vaadin, GWT and GIS. Probably thanks to Vaadin’s “community time” and my hobbies that relate to maps. I have personally used these artifacts only in my small hobby projects, but I also know they have been used in several ...

This year has been awesome for Vaadin: we’ve seen large and small companies from all walks of business embrace Vaadin in their tech stack. We’ve met hundreds of Vaadin developers at conferences, exchanged thousands of ideas on the forums and seen hundreds of thousands of developers at the Vaadin ...
