Due to my interest in mass collaboration platforms and the timeliness of the OccupyEverwhere movement I`ve been reflecting a bit on the technology layer that we could develop to support occupiers worldwide.

I did some thinking about this problem today and generated the following presentation. This is pretty rudimentary but should be enough to give you a sense of what I am thinking. Due to the fact that many of us will be attending Contact it seems like a good idea to get the ideas out there asap! Here are a few of the basic ideas...

*OBJECTIVES:*

- Focus the attention of, and coordinate the resources from, those that want to support the occupiers - Provide an infrastructure that will enable the self organization of a dynamically changing group with ambiguous collective objectives that are occupying a particular geographic location. - Support the maintenance and growth of localized occupations

*PRIMARY APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS*

- Mobile: we can expect people in the streets to be moving around etc... - Real Time: needs to be sensitive to the rapidly changing environment - Location Sensitive: the context is one where people are trying to coordinate logistics in particular localized regions - A highly robust GPS/mapping system will need to be at the core of the application framework

* PROBLEM TO SOLVE*

OESP needs to be able to take a number of discrete inputs from individuals that are not connected, in real time, process this information, and then provide feedback that is relevant to the organization and management of a larger group that has no formal organizational structure.
