Humanitarian Open Source Software Conference

The aim of this research paper is to investigate how space and landscape provide tangible (i.e. shared resources) and intangible (i.e. shared sense of community) benefits for entrepreneurs. The research question I would like to explore is why are entrepreneurs attracted to and participate in shared space? What benefits does these spaces provide? What are the similar environmental conditions within the physical space? Ultimately, this paper will seek to understand how communal working and co-creation necessary (or not) for innovation.

CrisisCommons Statement for the Record

Watership Down: Memoirs of a Digital Humanitarian  (Track Session - 15 min) Heather Blanchard, a graduate candidate in Global Communications at the American University of Paris, will discuss her experiences and lessons learned on the digital frontlines of disaster response both within government at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and as a co-founder of CrisisCommons. Heather will share lessons learned from Haiti, Japan and New Zealand earthquakes, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Isaac and outline opportunity, challenges, and best practices of open source software adoption for domestic emergency management and international humanitarian relief.

The Value Between Us examines groups and the potential value that connects today’s network of networks. The information economy and the derived value is rooted in exchanges which occur not just among institutions but groups who may have no legal or institutional affiliation, informal cooperatives. These groups attract attention and participation of those who have similar interests and are guided by kernels. These groups operate between ecosystems as alternative open spaces for collaboration. When informal cooperatives and institutions collaborate they form a collaboration sphere, an independent space of engagement. While informal cooperatives are fueled by similar interests they can infuse diversification through their weak ties. These relationships create balance within groups to mitigate against polarization. The distance between and within informal cooperatives and institutions are structural holes. These gaps require brokering by a new kind of communicator, the new curator. This new brokering role bridges the gaps between today’s network of networks, especially those with dissimilar interests and values. The new curator is an independent actor who straddles between informal cooperatives and institutions. The new curator cultivates environmental conditions conducive for dialogue, cooperation and ultimately, collaboration. Through a multi-discipinary theoretical approach with current qualitative examples, this thesis argues that while we might believe we are in a connected world, we are not. The Value Between Us issues a call to action to invest in new curators to support and protect informal cooperatives, cultivate the value between today’s networks of networks.

This presentation discusses the critical importance of the “Communication for Development” (ComDev) approach in ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard in the decision-making process that will be needed in Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change, but especially illustrates how ComDev can engage those whose livelihoods are most vulnerable and most dependent on natural resource bases. Illustrative examples will be drawn especially from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean, including the “Voices for CC” initiative in Jamaica as well as best practices in ComDev from RARE Radio in St. Lucia, Toco Radio in Trinidad, among others.

This event shines a spotlight on the intersection of decentralized storage solutions and community archive projects. For years, digital archiving has been essential for preserving historical documents and community memories. However, traditional storage methods increasingly face issues around costs, data ownership, privacy concerns, and accessibility limitations. This is where decentralized storage offers a fresh approach to safeguarding vast public datasets. Designed for enthusiasts and professionals in community archiving, research, and library sciences, this event will be a mix of talks and demos by leading Makers of public good technologies. Hosted by TechSoup on April 25, 2024. https://events.techsoup.org/events/details/techsoup-public-good-app-house-presents-building-the-commons-community-archiving-amp-decentralized-storage/

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.
