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.

SAARAA - Situational Awareness And Rapid Assessment Application

Website/App store links:

http://beta.saaraa.org

Why we are working on this problem:

There is a huge need to use the power of the community during disasters/incidents. The use of mobile techonolgy is changing the dynamic and speed of information travel. It is important that this information integrates among the citizens and responders. We are all communities and need to work together as a whole community. This appilcation will help us reduce the amount of overhead in time, development and overall cost in duplicated efforts, prior, during and post disasters/incidents. Working together saves lives and returns us to a normal state quicker. I can go on, but need to keep this short. Email me and I can give you more!!

What we accomplished during the event:

During RHoK 3 Seattle we went from paper to an actual Android app that collects information and sends it to a data set in the cloud. This was an incredible step. Looking forward to RHoK 4 Portland and connecting it to the map front end now, so that people can see what is going on.

Progress made since the event:

This project jumped leaps and bounds at RHoK 3 in Seattle. We were able to go from vision/theory to having a mobile application on the Android platform. Since RHoK 3 we have worked on improving the data flow and increasing the dev/test use of SAARAA. We are looking forward to RHoK 4 Portland to get the team back together, add new members and connect more dots of the puzzle.

Next steps:

There are many next steps....

Connecting the data collection to the data visualization (map) front end.
Build the iOS application
Build the Windows Mobile Application
Organizing the data flow to explain the process to non techies.
Build out a more robust infrastructure to support large events.
Building personalizable front end for cities/counties/municiples to use/integrate for their communities.
Many other things.... ask me.

Community help:

There are many things we could use from the community. Ask us if you are interested. Check out the next steps section for any interests.

Thanks!

Water and Environmental Hub (Open Water Data Web Platform w/API)

Summary:

The Water and Environmental Hub (http://www.waterenvironmentalhub.ca) is an open web platform that aggregates, federates, and connects water and environmental data using open standards (i.e. OGC - waterML, groundwaterML, WMS, WFS, etc. and EML) and makes that data available through a unified output service (API) enabling users to access, build custom apps, and integrate water data into their web-enabled devices and processes. Launching on July 1, 2011, the Water and Environmental Hub has begun aggregating data through our translator (for OGC standard data), and/or as a repository when the water data is not available through web services. The API will be available when the project launches July 1. We expect to be adding new water and environmental data resources on-going and assisting organizations with water data to make that available through web services or via our open web platform upload data tool. We are working with various water data providers including: UNGEMS - global water quality (http://gemstat.org), GRDC - global water quantity (http://www.bafg.de), CAN-US groundwater data via http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/HydrologyDWG/GroundwaterInterop..., IP3 - cold regions data (http://www.usask.ca/ip3/), along with various other city, prov/state, national, and global datasets. As well, we are considering participation in the DataONE initiative (http://www.dataone.org) allowing us to connect to EML standardized ecological data.
