<br>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.<br>
<br>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...<br>
<br></div><b>OBJECTIVES:</b><br><ul><div class="im"><li>Focus the attention of, and coordinate the resources from, those that want to support the occupiers </li></div><div class="im"><li>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.</li>
</div><div class="im"><li>Support the maintenance and growth of localized occupations</li></div></ul><br><b>PRIMARY APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS</b><br><ul><div class="im"><li>Mobile: we can expect people in the streets to be moving around etc...��� </li>
</div><div class="im"><li>Real Time: needs to be sensitive to the rapidly changing environment</li>
</div><div class="im"><li>Location Sensitive: the context is one where people are trying to coordinate logistics in particular localized regions</li></div><div class="im"><li>A highly robust GPS/mapping system will need to be at the core of the application framework</li>
</div></ul><b><br>PROBLEM TO SOLVE</b><div class="im"><br>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.<br clear="all">
