- 30. Quote “We are undergoing a major technology paradigm shift. Citizens that were once only passive recipients of information, are now contributors to the story. In the case of crisis mapping, it's the people on the ground that best know the local situation. Enabling a two-way conversation between affected communities and support groups can allow a faster, more effective response. The key point is that affected groups have a voice, we only need to listen.” -Dale Zak, Ushahidi mobile developer

Notas do Editor
- My name is Dale Zak, and I’m a mobile developer with Ushahidi.\nI’m gonna play a short video introducing you to the platform.\n
- So what is Ushahidi?\nUshahidi is open source software to collection and visualize information on a map.\nOpen source means the code is free and publicly available for anyone to use.\nI personally believe Ushahidi is also three things:\n1) Platform - open source, customizable, localizable, anyone can build upon it\n2) Community - global conversation all working towards a common goal\n3) Movement - help empower disadvantaged groups by giving them a voice\n
- U-sha-hee-dee is the Swahili word for ‘testimony’.\nOriginally a website to report post-election violence from Kenya in 2008. \nThere was gap between what was happening on the ground, and what was being reported in the media. \nUshahidi was created to allow citizens to have a voice, “this is what I see.”\n

- And that leads me to the Libya Crisis.\nOn March 2nd, UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) \nrequested the Stand-By Task Force be activated in Libya.\nThe initial map was password protected to ensure safety of reporters, but later made publicly accessible.\n
