active Crisis Commons projects?
Monika Adamczyk
is organizing an overnight hackaton for college students:
http://www.nech2011.com/ on February 11/12th.
CrisisCamp Boston, of which I am one of the city leads, has been
invited to the event and asked to lead CrisisCommons project tract. We
would like to introduce CrisisCommons to the hackathon attendees
(150-250 CS students) and propose a few projects to work on. These
could be either ongoing projects or problem statements on which
implementation would start during the hackathon. While MS will be
giving out all their development tools free of charge, the hackathon
is not limited to their technologies only. In fact I am trying to
bring to the event some technical experts from Google and other open
source technologies.
I am looking for project owners or contributors who would be
interested in work to be done on their projects during the NECH
hackathon so we could do some planning together in the next 3 weeks.

Don't we really have any more projects that could take advantage of a
group of Computer Science students from top universities (Brown,
Harvard, MIT and many other from New England area) working on
applications for a day?
I see a potential of turning at least some of them into long term
contributors and continue building the technical community that can be
called upon in case of future disaster.
What am I missing here that solicited so little response?

Population Centers in Disaster was a collaborative project started at RHoK 2.0. Participants include: Humanity Road, RHoK Seattle, RHoK Toronto (CrisisCamp Toronto team), OpenStreetMap and Sahana.
The project initiator is Humanity Road. The final product will reside in Sahana. The main contact is Cat Graham, Humanity Road. The contact for Sahana is Pat Tressel.
Here our latest status report:

I think that collaborative projects across Volunteer Technical Communities use our best power. Thus, while it is not only a "CrisisCommons" project, it is a worthy candidate.
Thanks,

Sorry I have been swamped with flooding and have not been able to
focus on CC. Will try and get some detail of the damage assessment
app.
Cheers.

Hello Monika and thanks Heather! We would love for our project to be continued and have been working with Pat Tressel in identifying what steps need to be taken. I know of another NGO that may have a worthy submission for the event, but may I ask where the tech overview would be submitted for consideration? I see a portal (Eventbrite) that contains registrations for the students, developers, professor(s) and press. Thanks in advance, I’m sure it will be a successful event.

Thanks for the link. When I mentioned CrisisCommons type of projects, I meant it more in the spirit of CC than strict ownership. We will add the project to the list of proposals.
