Ushahidi + Crowdmap

Ushahidi es un software que permite hacer mapas colaborativos en tu propio servidor si tienes cierta experticia técnica pej. Stop Desahucios. Para facilitar su uso, la misma comunidad de desarrollo ha implementado una versión que funciona en la nube, no siendo necesaria su instalación y configuración, es Crowdmap. Como ejemplo Syria Tracker

“Ushahidi”, which means “testimony” in Swahili, was a website that was initially developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election fallout at the beginning of 2008. Since then, the name “Ushahidi” has come to represent the people behind the “Ushahidi Platform”. Our roots are in the collaboration of Kenyan citizen journalists during a time of crisis. The original website was used to map incidents of violence and peace efforts throughout the country based on reports submitted via the web and mobile phones. This website had 45,000 users in Kenya, and was the catalyst for us realizing there was a need for a platform based on it, which could be used by others around the world.
