WebApps and other subject PhotoLibrary

[Federico Galati]

 Dear colleagues, may I ask your help/advice

1- what kind of webapps (native or not) your organization is using or has developed?

2- do you have and what do you use as your main photo Library (Flickr, Picasa, other proprietary app...)?

Thanks a lot. Very best -Fede

Dear Federico,

In UNISDR we are mainly using Flickr to share our photos (https://www.flickr.com/photos/isdr).

Best regards.

We've built our own photo library using ResourceSpace (an open source tool). Once it's correctly configured and you've learned your ways with it, it's a great tool both for storing and sharing photos.

Dear Federico, 

I would recommend Lightrocket, Yvan Cohen as a contact person. Excellent piece of proprietary app, works for photo, video. Used by UNAIDS, I took the lead on managing the details, setting up guidelines and discussing them with my manager at the time, and providing UNAIDS with a strong base of images. It was the initial version in 2011, working closely with Yvan Cohen, it has strongly improved since then and the application, added to a good Photo Editor, makes a very strong combination for long term use. 

Best, 

Olivier

Dear Federico,

1. At WHO/Europe, we have just built two native apps. The first is an app for our annual governing body (taking place next week), offering easy access to documentation and practical information for the participants. This is available on both Apple and Google stores. More details on our website: http://www.euro.who.int/rc-app. The second app is for making European health statistics available on mobile devices, both iOS and Android. This app will be launched on Monday, 14 Sept when our flagship European Health Report 2015, which is based on the health data in the app, will be launched at the meeting. I can share the link to that app once it goes live. (The first app was built in-house and the second one was outsourced.)

2. We have used Flickr and other tools for photo library, but finally built our own custom library using Asset Bank (https://www.assetbank.co.uk). It's a very flexible and comprehensive solution for hosting multimedia assets. So far we have used it for internal use only, but we are just about to launch our public photo library based on this tool. You can preview it here: http://multimedia.euro.who.int/assetbank-who/action/viewHome, but the look and content of the public library will change substantially by the end of this week, in preparation for our meeting next week. Check it out!

We have a photo library available on WHO global site too: https://extranet.who.int/photolibrary/guest_eng.htm. I don't recall exactly which software was used for it. My HQ colleagues can provide the details.

Best wishes.

Kanti (from WHO/Europe in Copenhagen)

Dear all,

As I had mentioned, our European health stats app went live last week. You can check it out here: http://www.euro.who.int/en/data-and-evidence/the-european-health-statistics-app, where you will also find the links for downloading from the app stores.

We are collecting feedback on this app to refine it for its next version, so we'll be pleased to receive your honest comments. Please send me at k...@euro.who.int

Many thanks.

Kanti
