[Talk-cl] OpenStreetMap + Ushahidi-Chile in the works + partnerships

[Leo Soto M.]

Julio,

En caso que aún no sepas (probablemente ya sabes), se ha juntado un
grupo para armar chileayuda.com en Huelen 164, oficinas de Oxus, y por
lo que he visto acá, parte importante de lo que se esta haciendo es
una interfaz de mapas, conectado a ushaidi.

En caso que no hayas estado al tanto y te interese coordinarte con
ellos, seria genial que te pusieras en contacto con ellos.
