Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share this link to a particularly well written article
about the HOT ebola response so far.

http://www.fastcolabs.com/3037350/elasticity/inside-the-crowdsourced-map-project-that-is-helping-contain-the-ebola-epidemic

Pierre and I did interviews with Jay Cassano, the author of the piece,
last week and it was published today.

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered on the mapping so far.  Without
your mapping contributions, articles like this don't get written, and
HOT does not grow.

2014-10-22 Thread Robert Banick
Hi All,

There's also a nice article about the Missing Maps project out with Fast Co
Design:

http://www.fastcodesign.com/3037423/how-the-missing-maps-project-is-crowdsourcing-data-on-hundreds-of-uncharted-cities

The article makes it sound like we're already up and running, when in fact
we're just getting started. Still, it's a nice summary of our ambitions and
vision. We do not refer to people as ground troops!

Best,

Robert
