We're in the late prototype phase for Groundsource<http://groundsourcing.com>, a mobile data collection and engagement platform -- designed for journalists, researchers, NGO's and others to use to gather first-hand knowledge. We've used the prototype to validate the need for the platform, and now privacy & data protection have moved front and center as we ramp up for a beta phase later this spring/summer.
We've had some early discussions with the Tor Project about protecting journalists using the platform in countries with repressive regimes (down the road). We're also looking into using Wickr for encrypting communications. In the short term, we need advisors who can help guide our decisions around privacy and personal data collection & protection. Let me know if you're interested in helping us navigate these issues. I'd be happy to demo the platform for anyone who's interested -- and I am also beginning the search for a CTO/technical co-founder to lead on these and other tech/strategic decisions. We're looking for people who share our mission to put human experience and unmet needs at the heart of storytelling and decision-making, while giving sources control over the data that they share and their level of engagement. Comment here, or email me personally if you want to follow up. Best, Andrew Haeg http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewhaeg @andrewhaeg @groundsourcing 612.501.0690
