Nairobi v3 Meetup

Join us for a few hours of hacking and brainstorming on what we're building/should be building into the newest version of Ushahidi, v3.

v3 demo link (http://v3.ushahididev.com)

Developers

Ushahidi is built on the Kohana Framework. Those unfamiliar with MVC frameworks should have a look at the following documentation prior to the meetup

• Kohana 3 documentation (http://kohanaframework.org/documentation)

• Kohana 2 documentation and Kohana 101 doc (http://pixelpeter.com/kohana/kohana101.pdf)

We'll take up a chunk of time walking through setting up Ushahidi v3 and explaining its architecture, but it would be great if you could take a stab at trying to install it before the meetup ;)

Installation instructions can be found on our github repository (https://github.com/ushahidi/Lamu) README (https://github.com/ushahidi/Lamu#ushahidi-3)

Incase of any queries/ if you have trouble installing, feel free reach out on IRC irc://irc.freenode.net#ushahidi

More documentation on v3 can be found on our wiki (https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Ushahidi%2C+v3.X).

Here are a couple of features we'd like to work on with you:-

• Migrations: How do we migrate data from ushahidi v2.x into v3?

• Custom forms: We have this built into the API but need to make these a lot more flexible

Users/Deployers

Two important features we want to build into v3 are workflows and better visualisations. Help us frame out

• What an ideal workflow for en election monitoring use case would look like

• What kind of visualisations we should add into the platform

• What analytics we should add into the platform

Refreshments will be provided.

NB: This is a physical event in Nairobi. We will do our best to make it available for people to join via a Google Hangout, but this is pending. We promise to try record it/have our virtual friends join in ;)

Hope you can join us! Bring a friend too ;)
