Hi folks, I'm wondering if I could ask for a favor?
http://hexayurt.crowdmap.com/reports I'd like to build a database of hexayurts - a list of where they've been built, and when, on a map. There are a couple of reasons for doing it - mainly it's just cool, but it's also part of building a "culture of documentation" where we record what we do so that people can see what's going on, learn from it, and build a nice, transparent overview of what's going on and what we're up to :-) The software I've chosen is Crowdmap, which is Ushahidi's hosted platform. It's really simple to use - just one enter page where you upload a picture of your hexayurt, and put in the time and place (it understands "black rock city, nevada" to mean Burning Man!) and, if you can be bothered, you can put on the precise GPS coordinates of your build so it can be matched against, say, Google Maps. I'm going to be going through my archives uploading pictures, so there'll be a new entry from me every day for a few weeks as I link what's there. Hope you will upload some pictures of your projects, and thank you very much! http://hexayurt.crowdmap.com/reports/view/2 - the first one ever built, and http://hexayurt.crowdmap.com/reports/view/5 the Brussels outing for example - note the "iimage" and "video" tabs Vinay -- Vinay Gupta Free Science and Engineering in the Global Public Interest http://hexayurt.com - free/open next generation human sheltering http://hexayurt.com/plan - the whole systems, big picture vision "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" - Albert Camus Twitter/Skype/Gizmo/Gtalk/AIM: hexayurt UK Cell : +44 (0) 7500 895568 / USA VOIP (+1) 775-743-1851 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
