3rd Crisis Camp London

crisiscampldn — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:12:39 +0000

It’s Crisis Camp London’s third workshop and volunteers are busy working on a number of projects. The main technical focus is on providing maps that will be more easily accessible to those working in affected areas (using Reliefweb). This means that those working in Haiti will be able to access the relevent geographical information in situations where they may encounter problems using Reliefweb (for example, with low band width connections). The non-techie volunteers have been working on a variety of tasks from translating between French, Creole and English to generating publicity to encourage new volunteers.

Afternoon work continues following a pizza break!
