The American RootsTech conference, where the technological concerns of the family history industry meet in Utah, has ended for this year. The site's website at http://rootstech.org has recordings of some of the sessions that occurred.
In terms of news, I've only caught some of the headlines, but FamilySearch has a new logo in the works and is planning to redevelop its site again (*sigh*!), and Ancestry has released raw data from its autosomal DNA tests and is planning a huge project with FamilySearch to digitise American wills. An updated Ancestry app for tablets is also on the cards.
Various bloggers were in attendance providing reports, you can catch a list of some of those there in an 'official' capacity at http://rootstech.org/bloggers.
