Although the Open Green Map social mapping platform did not win, in February 2009, our 'pitch' to the We Media & Ashoka Changemakers jurors led to some great exchanges and connections!
Tele Atlas is the provider of the base maps that appear on Google Maps. Their Fall 2008 competition for wireless devices was exciting for us because we were able to demonstrate our Open Green Map platform at the CTIA Wireless convention, and met hundreds of people interested in our unique social purpose application. We also won $10,000 in cash and $10,000 in TeleAtlas data, both a boon to platform development!
Spring 2008 - even before the Open Green Map was open for 'business', this social mapping platform was selected by TechSoup's prestigious NetSquared Mashup Challenge! Recently, we added a blog post about the many rewards of participating in an open competition like this. What a valuable experience!
In January 2008, Green Map System gained many new supporters in this online giving contest. In additional to the funds sent in, we received an extra Top Ten check from Global Giving! These funds seeded the development of the Open Green Map sustainability mapping platform. Our entry is still online, you can join over 370 people in supporting our work.
