Commute Aggregator

December 3, 2011 - 19:10 -- Wraithan
Summary: 

My proposed solution to this problem is an aggregator that leverages existing mobile applications and websites to do the tracking itself.

 

A user will opt in by either associating their workout tracking account with the site and having data automatically pulled in, stripped of user information, then added to the pool of available data. Another way a tracking client can participate is by allowing a user to opt in by volunteering their data.

 

An end result of gathering this data is presentation in a filterable way as well as exporting in various formats.

Why we are working on this problem: 

I am a bike commuter with an interest in geo data. As well as a great enjoyer of gluing services together to create services that are desired.

What we accomplished during the event: 

Specing and dicussion, as well as discovery and expansion of the problem space.

Good Samaritan mobile app

June 5, 2011 - 11:13 -- Jeff L
Summary: 
Find the nearest people, within a configurable radius, to help you with your emergency. Those nearby people will receive an SMS and reply with a text message if they can help you, which will then initiate an anonymized phone call between the helper ('good samaritan") and the person needing help. Future extension(s): Add audio and/or video conferencing (possibly with SkypeKit, which is in limited beta). This could evolve into a system that meets the FCC's requirements for an enhanced 911 system.
