2008, Community and Mashup - Nonprofit Technology

Predictions for 2009

Amy Sample Ward

DECEMBER 12, 2008

Mashups are great. But I think 2009 will see a more refined world of mashups take over. We have seen plenty of mashups where a website is able to push together a mapping tool, some public data, and user-created content like comments. Mashups of applications and spaces, not just information. Community Movement.

Ushahidi got its start in early 2008. Founder Erik Hersman and a group of fellow Kenyan bloggers were frustrated by the lack of accurate information or media coverage of the violence surrounding the 2008 Kenyan election. Ushahidi entered our legendary third NetSquared Mashup Challenge in Santa Clara, California in May 2008.

Around the time of the Nonprofit Technology Network ’s 2008 NTC conference, an even brighter light bulb went on. I remember sitting in a session by Kurt Voelker of ForumOne Communications, Tompkins Spann of Convio, and Jeremy Carbaugh of The Sunlight Foundation. It turns out I was at the epicenter of the Linked Open Data community.

The organization got started when a group of Kenyan bloggers led by Erik Hersman began doing online mapping of violence reports after the 2008 Kenyan election. It can inform members of a community of critical information as it happens, and tell an event's story visually with maps, interactive charts, and other visualizations.

As some of you know, part of my work is being the Community Builder for NetSquared , a project of Tech Soup that facilitates the adoption of social web tools by nonprofits and NGOs. You don't need to have tech expertise to submit a project to the Challenge, just an idea for a change you want to make that could be facilitated by a mashup.
