Hey all,

Was going through archives of research tonight for the Mozilla app for People's Open and came across some old blog posts from early 2013. I posted them (retroactively dated) on the People's Open blog, hope that's all right! Some bits may be useful for putting together the users / communities / social impact segments of the grant apps:

Occupy Sandy: A Model for Grassroots Community Disaster Relief
How to Make a Mesh: Coalition-Building in Oakland
Slow Dev: What the Open Source Software Community Can Learn from Anthropologists
Bridging the Physical/Digital Divide: Hyperlocal Networks and Community-Based Asset Mapping

Cheers,
Jenny
