pretty awesome dialogue on the coolest kind of tech - mikel
The GIVAS is intended to help fill this gap by linking together existing early warning systems and making better use of new innovative ways of collecting real time data. The system is both intended to show impact (i.e. what's happening right now) and raise alarm bells as to potentially dramatically worsening vulnerabilities (i.e. what could happen if we don't act). It's main purpose is to ensure that we have the information and analysis needed to protect our most vulnerable populations against crisis. It is a tool to ensure that the Millennium Development Goals have a chance. - mikel

Does the OpenDatabase License need CC style Modules? :: High Earth Orbit - http://highearthorbit.com/does-th...
Disregarding attribution (which most people want, or at least, won’t refuse), CC has essentially three modules: - non-commercial (CC-NC) - no derivatives (CC-ND) - ’share-alike’ (CC-SA) ND is just silly for a database – what would be the point? And I may be missing something, but there doesn’t seem to be any clamour, at all, for NC on databases. I can think of one edge case where it might have been welcomed but that was arguably for a not very well thought out initiative. (Never mind that the massive resources required to host an OSM-like dataset may make it difficult to be strictly NC.) So you’re left with share-alike and “the absence of share-alike”, i.e. PD/attribution only: two licences. GPL and BSD for databases. Happily, two such licences already exist in the ODbL “family”: the ODbL itself, and the Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication & Licence (PDDL). - mikel
