The Making of Ushahidi
Digital Pioneership from random acts of collaboration.
Lessons learned from an African Open Source Platform
Juliana Rotich
@afromusing
red dots on a map
A small organization that dislikes hierarchy and
being told what we can't do.
One that questions everything,
embraces innovative thinking,
takes risks boldly,
and sometimes learns the hard way that we're
human after all. 
openness | innovation | community
Our Guiding Values
Ushahidi = Testimony
“Google Earth supposedly shows in great detail where the
damage is being done on the ground. It occurs to me that
it will be useful to keep a record of this, if one is thinking
long-term. For the reconciliation process to occur at the
local level the truth of what happened will first have to
come out. Guys looking to do something - any techies
out there willing to do a mashup of where the violence
and destruction is occurring using Google Maps?
Ad hoc and leaderless

  • 9. “Google Earth supposedly shows in great detail where the damage is being done on the ground. It occurs to me that it will be useful to keep a record of this, if one is thinking long-term. For the reconciliation process to occur at the local level the truth of what happened will first have to come out. Guys looking to do something - any techies out there willing to do a mashup of where the violence and destruction is occurring using Google Maps?
