Non-profit Tech Gittip : Plateforme de micro-don pensée comme la (presque) première entreprise ouverte A propos du projet Éditer Gittip est un système de micro-don régulier (par semaine) auprès de personnes et de projets. De par sa facilité d'usage et la possibilité de donner dès que l'on possède un compte twitter ou github, cet outil permet de rapidement initier un financement participatif. La description du profil permet de spécifier nos actions pour "améliorer le monde" et l'objectif de financement visé. Chaque don est par ailleurs anonyme. Lancé il y a un peu plus d'un an, le site permet déjà à des personnes de ne vivre que de ça avec des financements autour de 2000$ par mois pour certains.En novembre 2013, Ashe Dryden ( reçoit par exemple 350$ par semaine et s'implique dans l'animation et l'écriture autour des sujets de diversité en entreprise. Mais Gittip n'est pas seulement une plateforme libre de don. En quoi ce projet est-il singulier et créatif ? Ce projet est créatif sur de nombreux aspects. Quelle est la plus-value sociale du projet ?
GPS bracelet uses social media to protect Civil Rights Activists The Civil Rights Defenders have issued their first batch of GPS bracelets that will alert the CRDs' headquarters, other nearby activists, and the entirety of the CRDs' social media following if the bracelet's owner is ever kidnapped. The first 5 bracelets were issued from April 2nd through April 5th during the Civil Rights Defenders' conference, Defenders' Days. The CRD plans on issuing 55 of these bracelets over the next year and a half. The bracelets are described as a personal alarm, and the product is called the "Natalia Project". The GPS bracelet can be activated manually, or if an attacker forcefully removes it from the activist's wrist. The Civil Rights Defenders state that these bracelets could potentially alert hundreds of thousands of people instantly.

HelloCoolWorld.com : Welcome! Information and communication technologies for development Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) refers to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the fields of socioeconomic development, international development and human rights. The theory behind this is that more and better information and communication furthers the development of a society. Aside from its reliance on technology, ICT4D also requires an understanding of community development, poverty, agriculture, healthcare, and basic education. This makes ICT4D appropriate technology and if it is shared openly open source appropriate technology.[1] Richard Heeks suggests that the I in ICT4D is related with “library and information sciences”, the C is associated with “communication studies", the T is linked with “information systems", and the D for “development studies”.[2] It is aimed at bridging the digital divide and aid economic development by fostering equitable access to modern communications technologies.
