Hi Folks,

I'm busily developing a crowdsourcing program to help folks, in aging
condo complexes, pull off major redevelopment programs - before more of
us go the way of Champlain Towers (the condos in Miami, that collapsed
into the Atlantic while their board rearranged deck chairs by the pool).

I'm looking at trying to pull off a wave of redevelopment projects that
mirrors the early days of the Internet (when we were all forming
campus-level working groups) to migrate to TCP/IP before the Flag Day,
or the wave of river cleanups that followed the first Earth Day.  And,
of course, pulling on my experience in putting together large systems
projects, supporting military mission planning, supporting exercise
development, and later supporting some open mapping in the crisis
response environment.

Now, I'm looking at integrating a set of open source tools that can
support construction planning & operations, in a multi-player
environment.  Kind of like planning reconstruction operations, or a
fleet modernization program.  Nothing fancy - lots of email lists (a la
the IETF's systems supporting working groups), and some construction
planning tools that support multiple people (think air operations
planning meets Computer Aided Engineering).

I figure that folks, in this group, have a lot of experience building
ad-hoc, self-organizing, tactical support systems.  Perhaps some of you
might be interested in helping out.  (And maybe, a few of you might have
some SBIR topics coming out that might support some of this!).

Anyway, drop me a line if you're interested, or comment here.

Best,

Miles Fidelman

Dear Miles Fidelman, my name is Miguel Blanco, I am a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Argentine Army. I was in charge of a project for the Conference of American Armies and I consider that for your request it would be very useful for you to see the following Open Source tools: https://www.ushahidi.com/ and https://sahanafoundation.org/
Best regards
Miguel Angel Blanco
