HOW DID WE BUILD IT?

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM

Information is Fragmented Many Stakeholders/Various Interests Significant Learning Curve for Stakeholder and the Public Need for Transparent Real Time Management Need to Visualize Information and Understand Connections Need to Move Quickly Need to See Science and Real Time Monitoring

Collaboration with Jon Burau and John Donovan (USGS)

1. Improve access to information = good decision making

2. Interoperability = open architecture= better tools

3. No licensing fees necessary

4. Think out of the box. Open Source allows for creativity – You know where

the project starts, but if you’re creative you don’t know where it’s going to

end. Design the project for the future, not the present.

5. Open source community is excited about serving the planet!

Why Open Source?
