Paul Krauthausen – Mapping for a Social Cause

1,6 million people require a wheelchair in Germany. Worldwide, the number of wheelchair users is aroud 185 million. All of them want to participate in public life. The most important question for these people is: can I access this specific location?

wheelmap.org is an online map which is specialised on this question. Since September 2010 everyone can find these places and add them to the map. There are also shown places which are limited accessible or even not accessible, which is a crucial information for the users.
The map data come from OpenStreetMap and each new entry on wheelmap.org will become part of OpenStreetMap’s database. In addition to the website there is a free iPhone App available. More than 20.000 data sets could be collected since the launch. Some hundred new entries are being added each day.

On the one hand, wheelmap.org provides people with useful information for orientation. On the other hand, the project wants to motivate owners of locations to rethink and to work on their wheelchair suitability.

Wheelmap is a project initiated by SOZIALHELDEN, a young and creative group of change makers, which has developed a couple of social projects since 2004. How does social mapping work? How to reach affected people to participate on OpenStreetMap? What are the challenges for NGO’s working with OpenStreetMap. This and some more will be part of the talk.

Hellekin Wolf and Pablo Martin – Stretching Boundaries: Lorea’s Experimental Approach To Federation

Lorea is a young project, started 2 years ago in Madrid to address privacy and cooperation between activist groups online. As such, Lorea is not your traditional social network for the general public, but an umbrella for like-minded pre-existing communities or emergent social networks with a requirement for secure communications.
We’re proposing two topics to illustrate our experience in implementing the federation, and highlight some issues we have matching real-life needs and how we handle them.

1. Using and Abusing Federation Protocols
A hands-on experiment of online cooperation and social networking, Lorea seeks to implements all protocols that emerge as open standards. Often, our needs force us to go beyond the specification and work on the fringe, e.g., when it comes to implementing group collaboration functionality (group encryption and privacy policies), and interoperability with non-Web protocols (PSYC, SMTP, XMPP, etc.).

2. Protecting the User
Most of our users are political activists, some in countries where governments can use pressure over services to disclose private information. News abound to remind us of the ongoing information warfare, from corporations disclosing private user data to governments, to massive takeovers like the PSN, or sneaky plans to rootkit end-users, as well as the development of the cloud or political agendas in Europe to establish Internet borders (no kidding): the intermediaries cannot be trusted with user data.

Henry Story – WebID and the Social Web

Social networking, identity and privacy have been at the center of how we interact with the Web in the last decade. The explosion of social networking sites has brought the world closer together as well as created new points of pain regarding ease of use and the Web.
Remembering login details, passwords, and sharing private information across the many websites and social groups that we are a part of has become more difficult and complicated than necessary. The Social Web is designed to ensure that control of identity and privacy settings is always simple and under one’s control. WebID is a key enabler of the Social Web. This specification outlines a simple universal identification mechanism that is distributed, openly extensible, improves privacy, security and control over how one can identify themselves and control access to their information on the Web.

We will describe the protocol in detail as it develops here and we will demonstrate services using it, cover improvements in browsers that would help it deployment, http://bblfish.net/tmp/2011/04/26/ answer questions that any questions that come up.
