I’ve just learned that CrisisCamp will be starting up a Portland session this weekend. Here’s the EventBrite listing if you’re in or near Portland, Oregon:

What is CrisisCamp? “This Saturday, (and Sunday if there’s interest) CrisisCamp will bring together volunteers to collaborate on technology projects which aim to assist in Haiti’s relief efforts by providing data, information, maps and technical assistance to NGOs, relief agencies and the public.”

Projects include:

Port Au Prince Basemap

Languages and Translation

Mobile Applications 4 Crisis Response

NPR’s Crisis Wiki

Family Reunification Systems

Tweak the Tweet

I’ll be there — I’m hoping to help out with Tweak the Tweet.

Please join me if you can – this event is free and open to the public. You don’t have to be technical to volunteer time.� There will be projects that can be done by anybody who has used Google.
