Amnesty International’s featured problem set is online

As mentioned via mail and twitter RHoK Berlin is happy to welcome subject matter experts from Amnesty International onsite in June.
Amnesty has released a set of problem statements that is related to migrants crossing borders. Read the featured problem set to get a picture what will be one of the major tasks for the upcoming RHoK.

It seems that these problem statement(s) need some time to develop a concept how we can solve it and what could happen if we don’t do it right. Privacy is a very important issue in this case. If we built a system to track people and this is open source I don’t want to see this implemented in a bad way … challenging task – great :-)

We might have also 3 or 4 people from Amnesty that will be present in Berlin as Problem Matter Experts. Great news and we’re looking forward beeing your host.
