The magnitude 9.0 massive earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011. And the plant was exploded. Very soon after the quake, many hackers individually began to hack something around the terrible disaster and for the survivors. At the next weekend, we launched the "Hack For Japan" group to support these developers. Numbers of projects have started through our hackathon events both online and offline.
Ex. radioactivity visualizer, power cut area map, mobile Geiger counter with Android, crowd-sourcing photo retouching network, etc.
This talk will tell some part of what we Japanese hackers did after the Marth 11.
The speakers is a co-founder of the group.
