CitySourced
CitySourced is a real time mobile civic engagement tool. CitySourced provides a free, simple, and intuitive tool empowering citizens to identify civil issues (potholes, graffiti, trash, snow removal, etc.) and report them to city hall for quick resolution; an opportunity for government to use technology to save money and improve accountability to those they govern; and a positive, collaborative platform for real action. Our platform is called CitySourced, as it empowers everyday citizens to use their smart phones to make their cities a better place. CitySourced is powered by FreedomSpeaks, the leader in interactive civic engagement.

Hi there Philip, i have never heard of your group but thanks for the introduction! This was a personal choice and nothing to do with VANOC. I am sure you do great work. The Quatchi account is not *officially* associated with the 2010 Olympics but i am doing my part to help promote it. My opinion that this platform would be a great for large events comes from my own personal opinion and background in security. Thanks and best wishes to you.

Hey 2010 Olympic Quatchi, the city of Vancouver has participated with my organization in conversations about developing open issue reporting platforms. I'm helping to lead the effort to establish an interoperable standard for location-based issue reporting - see http://open311.org. A number of open source solutions for issue reporting are also available, see http://wiki.open311.org/Main_Page#311_Applications
If the Olympic Committee or the Vancouver Olympics is interested in anything like this, I would be happy to discuss it further.
