Re: [DisasterRadio] Mozilla WINS Round 2 submission due Friday!

Allo friends, As you may or may not know, the deadline for Round 2 submissions is this Friday! A draft gDoc with the questions (which are much the same as Round 1) is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bp0CYUSzWEVt3xMusEQjQRvuCiciB sW6-gqYRw1VgZ4/edit I think DisasterRadio has a really good shot. Here's a look at the Round 1 winners (some of which I'm genuinely shocked won anything): * Project Lantern <http://lantern.works/docs/apps.html> - first place - has amazing design docs but no link to Github repo <https://github.com/lantern-works> (which is very recently active, also recently created, also only 1-2 contributers). might wanna incorporate some of the kinds of things they show here eg; use cases and app previews * HERMES <https://github.com/DigitalHERMES> - second place - Rhizomatica - active codebase, could be a contender, certainly has an excellent team - doesn't have a super open source feel (no link to Github on their homepage, for example) * Emergency LTE - 3rd place - can't find any website, code, specs, etc * goTenna <https://imeshyou.com/> - honorable mention - has an impressive map, but nothing about the project is open source * Wind <https://guardianproject.info/wind/> - honorable mention - project by Guardian Project - no Github activity in months * RAVE <https://github.com/commotionwireless/rave> - honorable mention - project by Commotion - Github has nothing in it and last commit was in November * Baculus <https://xn--f87c.net/> - honorable mention - still only a design doc, same with the Github repo <https://github.com/jedahan/baculus> (and 1 contributer) * Portable Cell Initiative <https://github.com/Ironarcher/portable-cell-initiative> - honorable mention - recent github activity but also 1 contributer * Othernet <http://blog.othernet.xyz/index.php/Timeline> - they at least have a wiki and a team :D looks interesting, tho not a whole lot of progress <http://blog.othernet.xyz/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=30&from=> they did use half the funds to train 4 high school students <http://othernet.xyz/othernet-engineer/> Butofcourse, there will be 35 other projects contending that were advanced to Round 2... Compare to our progress <https://disaster.radio/updates/> (excellent updates juul!) most demonstrable by looking at the github history <https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/commits/master>, as is the actual-collaborative <https://github.com/sudomesh/disaster-radio/graphs/contributors> nature of the project :) Could we document the working prototype this week? I am available to run between, say Captain Morgan's and Omni with a camera... and do some editing work on the submission (tho focus for me is more on the People's Open submission). Could also edit a short video with the footage Marc's already taken. If anyone has the spoons to hack on this this week, plz reply to this thread! <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
