It’s time for the Friday wrap-up, and Antti Vilpponen and I are in Tallinn for the Latitude59 conference. Antti got a chance to speak to Urmas Purde from Pipedrive (above) and the whole event has been interesting and inspiring. Expect a followup on Monday. As always, we’ve got more news, jobs, and events for you to attend. Quick plug: Be sure to come to ArcticEvening Helsinki on the 14th!
