In 2010 we completed the first digital complete map of Georgia and have shared it through the public domain, which allows anyone to use the data free of charge for many different purposes. Soon our map data will fill a blank spot on Google Maps sharing this important information worldwide.
In 2011, we will be using the map data as a foundation for sharing public information that will equip Georgian citizens with awareness of environmental issues and data and tools to hold their government accountable. We are playing an important role in Georgian society by leveraging technology to strengthen civic life and we could not do it without the support of people that share our vision like you.
We fell short of our $21,000 fundraising goal to allow implementation of GloPals, but our work to develop engagement and understanding by using technology to free information in Georgia continues, and we are grateful for support that fuels that vision.
Please stay tuned to OMC.ge and JumpStartInternational.org for continued updates on our work.
