Now I am working on Ushahidi, a platform to report incident online. It
is start a year ago when my organization went to start train community
about Human Right and Human Security. Part of my dream was that every
"endangered" community have their own map to place every incident that
occur. I would encourage the community to report their local knowledge
into more centralized sharing information. I try to use Ushahidi. Its work well for me, but not for local people.
The problems is that they live in remote area where connecting to
Internet is expensive and luxury. Most of them choose to interact
using mobile phone. So I try to install FrontlineSMS
(http://www.frontlinesms.com/) a sms server that can cooperate with
Ushahidi. Start from September I will introduce this to the people,
hope that they can use it. Now my concern is to take knowledge on Ushahidi and FrontlineSMS.
Today I try to upgrade Ushahidi (my last try destroyed my production
web). To make this more save this what I do First, download all report form admin dashboard choose Reports >
Download Reports (check all, choose all date). This action will saving
all the reports into CSV file that downloaded into computer. Second, install GIT! this is beautiful tool that lets I manage my
working directory : backup it, update to new release, make a separate
copy of main code. GIT supposed to installed from the beginning, but
in my case I have ushahidi web running. So I follow this step : cd ushahidifolder
git init # Initialize an existing directory
git add . # Add files and directories from
the current directory
git commit -m 'this my last work web!' # Commit changes
git remote add origin https://github.com/ushahidi/Ushahidi_Web.git #
Add a remote repository
git pull origin master # pull commit then don't forget to update the database, one by one sql. ough! I will try this to my drupal too! ref:
