In January, Ana and I attended Open Data for Development, the group of people that are attempting to create the IATI data standard. Ana presented a talk called Crowdmap as a tool for international development.

 

Brandusescu, Ana and R E Sieber. 2014. Crowdmap as a tool for international development. Presentation at Open Data for Development Challenge, Montreal, QC, January 27-28 2014

 

Ana was able to draw on her considerable knowledge of crowdmapping for community development to create a wonderful talk.
