Feedback from Allen Abtahi - CTO at Interaction.org for help coordinating NGO action on the ground. Knowing where all the BGO's are to help coordinate action is a ig problem right now. His narrative and request are below:

On the code challenge, this is what I have been thinking for a long time and if it happens we make the entire IA one big happy family and this effort one big success story. this is about placing our member orgs right on the map (street level) with 10 or 12 fields of info once you click on any. I am thinking of creating a template and when you right click on a spot on the map the template pops up then you can fill the fields with your information. of course the permission are necessary to get valid outputs. if this would be possible, then our orgs can upload thier info on the map and coordinating a massive operation this becomes a whole lot easier. the template could have orgs name, capacity (medical, relief, security, search and rescue, etc.) how many staff members, specialty if any, do they have wifi/internet, supplies, what equipment they can share, etc. we can then get the orgs input their data and update them as necessary.

what do you think?

thanks guys. Allen

Hey Sean. Sounds a lot like what Sahana is doing, but maybe just from a different interaction perspective?

But agreed, org info, location and contact info is the biggest gap right now for completing the feedback loop.

I think FeatureServer with a SQLite backing would be a simple way to do this. Members can click/draw an area, the page can ask them for questions and everything gets stored and served as GeoJSON/Atom/KML, etc.

I think Interaction is agnostic to how the solution is implemented at this point as long as it easy for NGO's to use and can be deployed quickly. If there is something off the shelf all the better.

Seems to me that there may be a lack of real time feedback/visibility of activities/needs/communications by NGO's and other agencies... US and other military.

I view this as a collaborative supply chain reporting/visibility problem, because the goal is to dynamically create supply chains (food, medicine) and service chains (medical, rescue) that are updated through mobile, and are mapable through Google Maps, etc.

Anyhow....what are other's views of looking at the coordination problem in this manner?

Thanks. Steve Kohler (extensive experience in 3rd world to consumer world supply chains and pure web based application programming using open source, LAMP. tools)

It is said that woman is not a perfect woman who without a juicy couture watch wallet or juicy couture tracksuit in her hands.Maybe all ladies are concern about this just like almost all women aware that the juicy couture dresses make them more sexy and charming.A fashion lady must have juicy couture daydreamer or juicy handbags on her hands, a juicy couture jewelry around her neck. To be fashion is not cheap, juicy couture bags is your ideal choice.
