Hi All
I am currently working on a project for Cebu City Government which is being funded by the World Bank. The aim of the project is to develop and implement an Open311 (http://open311.org/) civic engagement software application that will enable members of the public in two trial Barangay areas (Luz and Basak San Nicolas) to submit fault reports about pot-holes in the street and missing or broken street lights by SMS text message. These SMS text reports will be checked and verified by a team of people working at each Barangay Hall before they are placed on a map base, using a web-based software tool similar to www.fixmystreet.com, and forwarded to the relevant local government departments (DEPW, DPWH, DPS). If the trial is successful then the initiative may be deployed across the Metro-Cebu area. We are planning to start testing the software in the two pilot Barangays later this summer, but beforehand we want to update the OSM for these two Barangays. In particular we are keen to focus on the walking routes through the Barangays which are not already shown in the OSM. This will help the engineers at each organisation to locate reported faults and attend to them once we have got the software up and running. I apologise that it is short notice (the following activities were only confirmed just yesterday), but we are running two Barangay mapping workshops with local residents from each Barangay in Cebu on: * Saturday 5th May - meet at 11:00am at Luz Barangay Hall, on Arch. Reyes Avenue, and; * Sunday 13th May - meet at 11:00am at Basak San Nicolas Barangay Hall on Tagunol Street. If you are in the area and fancy coming along to get involved, or live/pass through these Barangays and can contribute to the mapping activity some other time, then please do pitch in. If you have any further questions about the project then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
