FR:WikiProject Haiti Haïti est un pays en Amérique du Nord à la latitude 18° 53′ 24″ Nord et la longitude 72° 49′ 48″ Ouest. Le 12 janvier 2010, un tremblement de terre de magnitude 7.0 a frappé la ville de Port-au-Prince à Haïti. L'Épidémie de choléra en octobre 2010, fait également ressortir la problématique de l'eau potable et la vulnérabilité des personnes vivant dans des camps. La communauté OpenStreetMap peut aider la réponse humanitaire en cartographiant à partir de l'imagerie satellitaire (ou d'autres sources) et en collectant et centralisant les référentiels cartographiques existants. Si vous êtes en contact avec des communautés d'haïtiens expatriés, pensez à les contacter pour travailler en collaboration pour nommer les lieux, etc. Si vous êtes un néophyte d'OSM, consultez le Un guide pour débuter.
#Ambon: Conflict and Containment Through Virtual Networks Image Courtesy of the Author The story that follows is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM), whose working conclusion is that the riots that occurred on September 11th and 12th, 2011, taking seven lives and causing 65 injuries on the small island of Ambon, Indonesia, may have been intentionally provoked by certain parties through text message rumors. Despite a slow and ineffective response by police on the ground, the violence did not engulf the entire island. Some say that the riots were contained by efforts in the same vessel through which they were spread: text messages and virtual social networks. Early last month, in the middle of a small city on Ambon, one of Indonesia’s Maluku Islands, a Muslim ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver was found covered in blood in a gutter in a Christian part of town, where Muslims don’t often go. Motorcycle deaths are not uncommon in Indonesia.

Technology is helping to improve citizen participation in decision-making and producing new ways of identifying public service challenges through processes such as ‘data mashing’. This paper documents current trends in the way technology is being used to promote transparency in different parts of the world. It reviews over 100 projects from across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, examining how new technologies are re-energising traditional methods. a child's right We are thrilled to announce that, as of October 10, 2012, A Child’s Right is operating under a new name: Splash.
