FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

Ushahidi and FrontlineSMS function well together with version 1 of FrontlineSMS.  The goal of this event is to develop code to connect Ushahidi and FrontlineSMS Version 2.

Date: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 in Nairobi

The hack day plan:

  • Get the Web Connection feature in FrontlineSMS 2.0 to push incoming SMSs to an Ushahidi deployment/Crowdmap
  • For contacts in FrontlineSMS that have location information, append this to the SMS before its pushed to Ushahidi
  • Using FrontlineSMS for sending out alerts; two-way communication for SMS (incoming and outgoing)

Who should attend:
Software developers
Ushahidi and FrontlineSMS community users to test

    Event Summary:

    We made some headway on linking the code during this first hack day. There's a feature known as "Web Connection" that allows  FrontlineSMS users to push SMS to any web service.  FrontlineSMS-Ushahidi integration would simply ride on this feature. Documentation and code are pending.

    What is next:

    FrontlineSMS to build incoming http connections triggering outgoing SMS, to add FrontlineSMS to Ush's SMS alerts out capability
