<br>
Yes, I know. My request is ridiculously broad. But for tomorrow's Knight Conference I am facilitating (an assigned) breakout session titled: "Filling in the Gap - Citizen Data Collection." I am looking for ways to focus the session in support of ongoing dialogues in the crisis mapping and humanitarian space.<br>
<br>
The topic of the conference is outsiders/insiders, and since I'm pretty sure I'm an outsider (or just a pisces, and who isn't really?) I thought I'd ask for your help.<br>
<br>
At the moment, my closest articulations circle around the ethical (the tomnod and NSA threads) or say the motivational gaps of citizen, corporation, government, NGO, etc. I am not sure how to focus these into a successful breakout structure.<br>
<br>
Also!! if anyone is coming to the conference come find me! I think I'll be the only one in a neon green dress, but if I'm wrong I'd like to meet her too.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Alyssa.<br>
