hi everyone,

i started an Ushahidi map last spring to support a range of work being done for the Great Lakes. it's called the Great Lakes Commons Map.

i'm hosting an event in Toronto on Sunday, February 3rd to showcase the site, but to also some needed feedback and direction. the project is very interdisciplinary and merges knowledge/skills in community mapping, digital storytelling, and of course open source technologies.

right now i have a pretty 'thin' development team and i'm looking for some new interest from the Ushahidi community.

if this project interests you in anyway, please consider checking out the site, getting in touch, and even coming on the 3rd if you're in the area.

thanks so much. the Ushahidi platform is really making a difference to this water movement.
