"Since 2009, the European community have been working to build a
volunteer technology community focused working to support local
emergency response authorities and international humanitarian aid
communities. These communities host open forums called CrisisCamps
where communities can dialogue as well as create prototype projects.
CrisisCamp Europe is the first CrisisCamp event to encourage the
connectivity between European volunteer technology communities,
humanitarian relief organizations, private sector companies, academia
and volunteers of all skills - including computer programmers.
CrisisCamp Europe will provide an opportunity for the community to
select representatives to attend the 2nd International CrisisCongress
which will be held in early September in Silicon Valley in the United
States. This trip will be supported by travel grant from
CrisisCommons.
During CrisisCamp Europe, discussions on open source technologies, the
use of crisis data and crisis mapping and other topics will be
discussed.
On Saturday, members of the Missing Persons Community of Interest will
hold its first Data Summit on Saturday, May 28, 2011 in Paris, France
to bring together technical experts, NGOs, relief agencies and other
organizations to discuss lessons learned regarding missing persons
data - both short term as well as long term refugee data collection,
sharing, security and privacy challenges.
The goal of the Missing Persons Community of Interest is to provide an
open roundtable to foster dialogue, education, training, relationship
building, policy and community technical standards development to
accelerate the incorporation of lessons learned, emerging technologies
and community input to improve and innovate how and under what
conditions missing persons information is collected, managed, and
acted upon.
This roundtable will provide input to develop a white paper to provide
crisis management, humanitarian relief and global development agencies
with a series of recommendations from the community on leveraging
existing and emerging technologies continue to work through policy and
technical challenges surrounding missing persons data. "

CrisisCamp Europe is happening this weekend!
I was wondering if anyone else was considering attending please? There
are people attending from several countries that would like to run
CrisisCamps of their own and are anxious to learn from the London
experience.

Best regards
