Participa

Summary:

Colombian Legislation requires candidates to do their advertisement according to several rules, including expending tops, allowed places to advertise, allowed kinds of media, etc.

This is supposed to make elections more fair and accesible for more candidates, and avoid that over wealthy candidates gain an advantage. However, many of them do not respect this rules, surpass the expending limits, make illegal use of advertisement, or receive in their campaigns money from illegal sources, including terrorist groups or drug capos.

With Participa citizens can submit information they see about the candidates and their expending, whether they are legally placed or not, this information can help know more about the candidate, his expenditure, his benavioural ethics, and raise awareness about them.

Why we are working on this problem:

We believe in a better world, and governmen and governants do play an important role in this, helping make elections fairer chances are better people will arrive at public positions.

What we accomplished during the event:

We have a working demo that when feed with the proper information can show reports and all sort of information.

Citizens can upload information from our mobile app or via the website.

Progress made since the event:

We are still in the event.=D

Traction:

Iea has been spread between our close network, and it has been well accepted.

Next steps:

After winning, and being selected we hope to contribute and maintain the application to help make sure is serving its purpose and include any functionality that could be require to meet this goal.

Summary:

Supporting things globally online is very easy and popular at the moment. There are Systems like Google+1;FaceBook Like and Flatter - to just name 3. Offlike aims to extend this pattern to local "offline" things. By placing QR-Codes ( or later NFC ) on real places with real problems - and giving the user the option to support this thing we hope to increase involvement with problems that matter for you - localy - offline .

Why we are working on this problem:

The Problem definition "A Real-World "Like" for Campaigning and Advocacy" described an intriguing idea: connect real-life needs to online support. Implementing this is a lot of fun for us, and it seems to be very usefull, because this way you can simply activate your neighbourhood to show their concern for a common problem - locally, and visible globally.

What we accomplished during the event:

We created a website, an app and mobile-site. All these there tools are necessary for participating in the Off Like button.

The campaign owner can create QR codes and check statistics on the amount of views and likes. Also there is a map so he can check where the QR codes are used. The app or the mobile site, provide an easy way show their support. By scanning the QR code the supporter can easily like the campaign with the usual social share buttons.

Progress made since the event:

We started at zero and created all these tool within 27 hours.

Next steps:

Live happy ever after.

Ordering system for food co-ops

Website/App store links:

http://kooperatywy.pl/

Summary:

Warsaw Food Cooperative is an informal group of consumers, which got together to satisfy (some of) their needs through direct contact with producers.

The idea is very simple: members of Cooperative get together to buy directly from local food producers or on the wholesale food market. Because we buy directly, we avoid the middlemen and by doing this we gain better control of quality of purchased goods. Members of Cooperative work rotationally and without any gratification, and because of this our operation costs are close to “0”. Buying food is important, but it’s not our only activity. We’ve created a fund spent on members’ Social Fund, Discussion Club, variety of workshops and other social activities.
We believe that it is in our best interest to create close relationships with suppliers, based on mutual respect, dialog and fair trade rules. In our activities we try to reach goals of cooperative movement, developing democratic, full open, horizontal, and transparent organization.
Currently our Cooperative has 30 – 40 active members, who participate in cooperative purchases organized every two weeks. From the beginning we support establishing new cooperatives because our goal is to expand democratic control over chains of production, distribution and trade itself.

Why we are working on this problem:

We discovered that main problem is lack of IT based, flexible Purchase System that could be used by already established and future cooperatives in Poland and around the globe.

We welcome everybody to join our team to create an intuitive, configurable ordering system that could be used to change the face of local (if not global) trade.

What we accomplished during the event:

- we’ve mapped the whole process of purchase as it is now to learn how it’s organized, and what can be improved, and how,

- we've created map of ordering system, with views for suppliers, cooperative members, admin,

- we're building a working prototype of the system with interface for cooperative members and suppliers.

Summary:

Full Description

The vision for this application is that it will have the capacity to provide information concerning water quality, watershed quality, air quality, and a variety of other pieces of environmentally related information so as to expose the user to the realities of their surroundings. Additionally, this application allows individuals to not only pinpoint their geographic locations and about a 30 mile radius around their location, but it places them in their legislative districts so as to allow them to learn who they can begin to contact so as to turn around, if necessary, a situation of concern. This application synthesizes data together which has never before been compiled in this manner so as to achieve top levels of transparency and to increase citizen participation in the democratic process.

Theoretical description

Transparency is a notion which is tossed around often times during periods of election or scandal. The goal of this application is allow for a window of transparency to be open at all times as it pertains to environmental and climate change. Awareness and awareness through connectedness are theoretically the mile makers which must be surpassed in order for mobilization and action to be reached. In order for those realities of what environmental and climate change will do to our planet and species to reach the surface of our societies routine, those mile makers of awareness and awareness through connectedness must be focused on. Once awareness is achieved, mobilization and a shift from an apathetic attitude to an active attitude is far easier to instigate.

MyPlan

Summary:

MyPlan the fundamental thought behind MyPlan is to get people equipped with required Info well in advance to act and survive on the “D Day”. One interesting thought coming out was to use technology for getting prepared but Not to rely on Technology on the D Day. So MyPlan’s moto is ‘prepare Print survive’. MyPlan Functional requirements in brief 1) Present users with Personalized Info in a concise manner so that they can Print & stick this on their walls to be able to grab it easily. 2) Personalized Info contains a. Their local council emergency contact details based on post code b. Map to their Nearest Safe evacuation point c. Their medicine Kit also suggested by this APP. 3) Creating a Google Map layer for Nearest Safe evacuation point (Currently no such thing exists) 4) Mechanism to have Info on various Medical conditions and what is most important/Critical for these users to carry with them during emergency. Based on the users input the Info will suggest customize 5) Social Integration of such site to promote awareness among family and friends

Summary:

Crowd source earthquake intensity maps provide disaster managers and the public with real-time information on the intensity of earthquakes while also giving earthquake researchers valuable data to help estimate the shaking from future earthquakes. The goal was to create a smartphone app/website that will allow users to report earthquake shaking intensity and building damage information via their smartphone.
