Crisis Camp London
From CrisisCommons Wiki
|
Crisis Camp is a series of BarCamp style events focused on the role of technology in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, that are taking place in several locations around the world including London!
Next event - TBA
There were no specifically Crisis Camp London events during 2011. Although we started a Meetup Group, the London ICT4D group. We will announce details here if/when we decide to do another one, perhaps in response to a crisis somewhere.
