Monika, a programmer for Maco Tech, will cover the origin of the Crisis Commons community, with particular focus on the crisis response to the Haiti earthquake last January. Crisis Commons, borne from the Crisis Camp movement is a global network of hybrid barcamp/hackathon events, which bring together people and communities who innovate crisis response and global development through technology tools, expertise and problem solving. Her involvement with the Boston Crisis Camp activities during the Haiti response will offer a first hand look at this organization’s mission. Monika will also discuss the current state of Crisis Commons and their plans for the next few years.
