Hello everyone!
I am currently working on this project of mine and was looking forward for your feedback. I am looking forward to present this idea as my idea for Google Summer Of Code, and I am really looking forward to join this community and contribute whatever I can for this community. They say change is inevitable. The nature has its own path, it hears no one and follows no one. It is unbiased to all and has been the most furious of all the changes. The very sudden changes in nature lead to what we call calamity or disaster. Our priority at such a time is to pray for safety of the lives and work as hard as we can for the very same. However, we always wonder what if we had even a little idea about what was about to happen. And if not the magical time machine then at least time to reach up to this information should have been early. For the most uncertain and unpredictable events of life like these, I would like to present to you my idea. Project-A website integrated mobile app which traces a person all the time continuously and as soon as any calamity occurs, alerts the website within minutes, thus, allowing us to take action in a quick and swift manner. This may be highly beneficial in saving lives by expanding our time interval to respond and react. The location can be integrated by google maps or google earth, while the mobile app can be integrated with the website containing the database of people, whose current status of nature of environment will be in constant scanning under this project. Area of Application-This idea can be implemented at places where there is a very high risk of calamity like Japan (people residing there) and at places where travelers may be affected, like a train (people travelling) accidents or any such unfortunate event. This app is highly useful at places where calamity strikes and we search out for either newspapers or media for information regarding the very same. However, we still remain uncertain regarding our family or friend as we only get the idea of the situation of the place and of the incident that has taken place. Not only we will be in touch with our near and dear once, but we will also be informed about the calamity and may reach out to as many people and as soon as possible. This app is highly beneficial not only for safety of our near and dear ones but also gives us a chance to prove humanity. This is a simple app which does not require millions of buttons selections, neither it involves to confuse people by weird and annoying passwords, especially at the time of calamity who could afford to type passwords and choose from list of buttons instead of saving his or her life. This is a disaster management technique which will ensure people that their families or any close person has the idea that he or she is in danger or trouble, so one can respond to the very same as soon as one can think of. One knows the value of human life today, and this will help us to save plenty of such lives. Past cases-This project could have been implemented in the most unfortunate cases of tsunami and earthquakes which created a massive life loss, whereas it could also have been used for train accidents and airplane crashes. There are plenty of cases in the world which signify the power of mother earth, and these are the only things which are not controlled by human beings yet. This app gives us a chance to prove that we can at least try our level best to keep track of such mishaps. Success criteria-This project will ensure faster disaster recovery and disaster management in every country. - One looks up to a source of information regarding their close ones, we provide them very same and in shorter span of time. - We will be alerted of any mishap much before the usual timing. Technology involved-In this project, we have made an app which gets and returns the data from the database which is placed in the website. This app is always active with the people who are about to be affected. We get constant alerts regarding their current state and as soon as any disaster occurs, the person just clicks a button in the phone, it is instantly updated on our website and in the case of emergency, there is alert which is sent to the people close to them (whose database is already collected and stored in the website) also, we alert as many people a little far around that area regarding the incident and thus ask for help and recovery. The status of people will be displayed by google earth or google map. Alerts can be sent via phone, text or e-mail. Work progress-I have been working on this project since past few months. About one fourth of the work is completed. Currently I am working on how to integrate google map with the phone app and the website. I have considered the following stages of development of my project: 1. Developing the mobile app and developing a website. 2. Integrating the app with the website. 3. Integrating the google map or google earth for clearer view of the position of the individual. 4. Scaling for the database and management of the same. 5. Integrating the database from the mobile app. 6. Measure the correct sending and retrieval of data. Conclusion-I would like to present this app from this community as I think that this app will be a big contribution for Open-Source. And in my opinion Django Software Foundation will be helpful towards me in presenting my idea further and taking it to the next level by their highly acknowledged guidance and mentoring. If given a chance by Google, I would make sure that I complete this project in the specified time limit and make the Django Community proud of this project. I would make sure that the community does not regret the decision of selecting my project and will make sure that I work very hard to complete the same with guidance from you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
