Happy week! We have a few gems to share with you. First off, two of our favourite words: Public. Open. Into the Code: SwiftRiver code is now on github. SwiftRiver code is PUBLIC and on github. We remixed the code and are ready to take it to the next level with you. SwiftRiver remains in beta. If you don't have an account, you can beta sign here. Issues can be tracked via this google form, or for the tech savvy, on github. In the coming weeks, we will hold a DAY OF SWIFT: a community test party in Nairobi and online. swiftriver on git

In the Community

Congratulations to Ajay Kumar and his PowerCuts.in team for winning the mBillionth Awards 2012 - m-News & Journalism Category. The Powercuts.in is an excellent example of a long term project by a deployer. They've scaled for mobile and have audio report capability. Sadly, the award comes at a time when many people in India are suffering a large scale power outage. Follow @powercutsIN online for the latest reports. If you can give them a hand, please file reports on their map and contact them. Power Cuts in India

Olympic Mappers

Kudos go out to the CrisisMappersUk team for their London Olympics 2012 project. They are the Deployment of the Week for their community efforts including volunteers from 14 countries. In addition, they received TV coverage from CBC National News. The Olympics also brings another deployment called Open for Business in the UK. Both projects exemplify preparedness and community. Well done!
