Greetings,
It's been a while since I've checked back in with HacDc, and I'm impressed
with the progress Byzantium has made.
There's a tech challenge <http://thetechchallenge.org/#!inflow> from
www.humanityunited.org. and USAID opening in Feburary that a few of you
might be interested in. Here's the problem description.:
During acute crises, vulnerable populations are often *cut off from
> critical information* and *have limited, if any, ability to communicate*inside or outside of their communities. While there are a number of
> existing efforts aimed at *improving information flow* in these contexts,
> many focus on the *outflow of information* from communities or rely too
> heavily on *existing communications infrastructure* or *basic literacy*.
>
Which basically sounds close enough to Byzantium to be worth applying for.
Let me know if anyone has interest.
Some side questions for the tech folks:
Does Byzantium work across non WiFi IP stacks? Would it be reasonable
to attach it to Packet Radio over HAM radio?
Sincerely,
Urbanus
