<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">Dear All,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">Greetings! My name is Linkesh Diwan, SA0BWI.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">I'm working on a project for disaster communications. Basically, I want to take advantage of the hardware in the Earl Tablet (see <a href="http://www.meetearl.com">www.meetearl.com</a>) to run an Xastir-like disaster management suite on top of Android and APRS. The idea for this has grown out of my experience of two large-scale natural disasters. <br><br>It will be open source, and I plan to build a social company / cooperative to provide enterprise-level support to organizations who want to use it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">In 2012, I was awarded the Young Innovator Fellowship from the ITU for this. More recently, I received a small grant in Sweden to fund initial development. MOST recently, I have launched it on RocketHub for crowd funding. Please take a look, share, and fund! <a href="http://rkthb.co/54809">http://rkthb.co/54809</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">My problem has been finding an Android developer who can visualize and understand the architecture of the program. I'm only a fledgling developer, and have no real skills to speak of. When I started this project, I met with the disaster communications coordinator in Vanuatu, who really liked the idea... it really hurts that now, when they need it, this isn't ready!<br><br>I'm sure that people here will understand when I write that the data structure inside the program must be tailored to take advantage of APRS. I have worked out a simple and elegant way to do that, but won't bore people here with the technical details (unless you are interested!)<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)">Does anyone know a developer who I could work with on this? I am willing to pay good money for a good developer!<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19)"><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#274e13">Thanks, Love, Peace,<div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(39,78,19);display:inline"> 73's</div><br>Link<br></font><div><br></div></div></div></div>
