Everybody wants a piece of Darfur – Wired Edition
Wired have just published their article on the Crisis in Darfur layers. It’s nice coverage (a little late, maybe), obviously focused on the technical aspect, but it also contains an update about Google’s involvement in this area. They’ve just announced a new nonprofit initiative called Google Earth Outreach, designed to provide more resources for these kinds of projects. There’s a showcase of a range of projects which I didn’t know about, and some nifty tutorials. The really appealling part is the Pro License Grant, which will make the full version of Google Earth more accessible to the sector, so it’s a pretty nice package overall.
However I need to make a correction, which I’ve also added to the Wired site. The article refers to me as the creator of Sahana, which I most certainly am not. However it was nice to see Sahana get linked in the article itself, so I’m not complaining too much.
