Hey everyone, I might be a bit late on Ebola, but I just watched this piece that the NYT did, and it moved me very deeply. vimeo/109143336 It made me start thinking a lot about what we can do and how a bit of hacking could save lives. I am really interested in personally doing something here and would encourage all of you to do so as well. Here is a link to the Ebola Open Data Jams brainstorming document to get you all started thinking: https://docs.google/document/d/1CSfd7R8TWAjSG9yYrKMjVbMnxjNChkQGjOEW5yyVt-Q/edit I put it up on hacker news (would you mind upvoting on HackerNews https://news.ycombinator/newest? its the post by mdisc) I know there have been efforts and people are thinking about this at Columbia, but it just didnt occur to me until now that this is such a big deal. Its a not a big deal for us personally at the moment, but for the people who are affected and living in such deep deep fear it is. Were not driving an Ebola ambulance, but anything that we could do to help planning and resource direction could actually save lives. If anyone is interested in working on something and wants to discuss or collaborate, please get in touch with me and your all of your friends.
