Spent most of Saturday volunteering in digital for CrisisCommons Haiti initiative — CrisisCamp.

3 countries. 11 cities. Pretty powerful statement for the future of digital media and social networking. (Seeing the tweets from Bogota was inspiring.)

Karl and I may not have been the most useful of folks (we were certainly schooled in our knowledge of coding), but we did help map the island into OpenStreetMap. Sure, Haiti’s  mapped…but the geographical data has yet to be connected with the GIS applications in development to help rescuers both in Haiti and in the future. Learn more about how you can help, too, at www.crisicommons.org

Meanwhile, take a peek at some of the crowd (and its rogishly handsome volunteer…s) and the caffeine that got yours truly through the day. (Okay, mine was just the cup on the right, but it was refilled several times.) Photos curtesy of Andy Carvin. (See more.)

Over 100 people attended CrisisCamp DC, Haiti part 2
