Feb 19 ang simula ng information activism camp sa Bangalore, India. Naimbitahan ang CPU upang maging advisory group member ng camp.

We joined the OpenOffice.Org Call for Proposal for OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2009/10). Below is our full proposal.

Proposed Date(s)
November 2009

Location (country, city)
Quezon City, Philippines

Special visa or entry requirements (e.g. vaccinations)
none

Conference venue(s) (e.g. university campus, municipal buildings)
University of the Philippines (Diliman Campus)

We are deploying a simple disaster monitoring application for the Citizens' Disaster Response Center soon. If you are interested in joining the team that will add more features to the current app released yesterday, please send me a note.

This is a CPU volunteer project. The demo site is at www.collectivetech.org/dev/cdrcMonitor. Use 'rick' as password and username.

Some technical details:
1. CakePHP Framework
2. MySQL/Apache

I hope other members can help. We can then talk about what other features to add. This tool once deployed will be a grassroots monitoring tool for natural and man-made disasters in the country. We hope to create an alternative data source based on community reports of affected areas.

You can visit www.cdrc-phil.org to know more of their disaster management methods.
