Long-term project


WHERE DO I CAST
MY VOTE?
The crowdsourcing

In December, 2009, we decided to localize
all polling stations in France to make the
Facebook app on the previous slide.

We soon realized that the data provided by the local
administrations wasn‟t machine-readable at all.

We first tried to capture the missing data points
ourselves by hand, but the task was daunting.
Instead, we build a basic tool so that web-users
could help us capture data.

They did so beyond our expectations, as more than
300 persons captured over 12,700 polling stations
addresses. In the end, we were able to localize 93%
of all polling stations.

In Kabul’s maze

RFI realized that it spent lots of time and
efforts into sending journalists abroad
who came back with 20-minute audio
reports. How could they enhance this
content on the web?
Made for
RFI
OWNI solved the problem by producing
lightweight, multimedia modules that
reassemble the audio and the pictures
taken by the journalist. Working with him
or her, we produce such online reports
every other week.

For the first one
