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/1Bp0CYUSzWEVt3xMusEQjQRvuCiciBsW6-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 - first place - has amazing design docs but no link to Github repo (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 - 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 - honorable mention - has an impressive map, but nothing about the project is open source

* Wind - honorable mention - project by Guardian Project - no Github activity in months

* RAVE - honorable mention - project by Commotion - Github has nothing in it and last commit was in November

* Baculus - honorable mention - still only a design doc, same with the Github repo (and 1 contributer)

* Portable Cell Initiative - honorable mention - recent github activity but also 1 contributer

* Othernet - they at least have a wiki and a team :D looks interesting, tho not a whole lot of progress they did use half the funds to train 4 high school students

Butofcourse, there will be 35 other projects contending that were advanced to Round 2...

Compare to our progress (excellent updates juul!) most demonstrable by looking at the github history, as is the actual-collaborative 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!
