The Ushahidi v3.0 hit team, who are  in London for a week to crank out the Alpha, managed to head out for the ICT4DLondon meetup yesterday and had some great chats with members of the community https://twitter.com/harry_wood/status/349651296325869569 [caption id="attachment_12983" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Credit: Ajay Kumar via twitter[/caption]

Into the Code

Crowdmap Henry built an android app for the new Crowdmap. The app makes it far much easier to launch crowdmap on your Android device. Take it for a spin, and send us feedback :D Your map listing page has some new awesome features! You can now search for maps based on location and keywords. Mobile SMSSync release slated for tomorrow, 27th June, 2013. Watch out for it on the Google play store :).

Small ask: We need help translating SMSSync. Can you help?

Ushahidi More bug fixing is going on v2.x of the Ushahidi platform. Sharon is curating a list of bugs we need to prioritise on fixing over the coming weeks. Here's a list of all the current issues. Feel free to jump into the code and fixing what you can :). Reminder: You can help us find out what we can do better for the community, take our developer survey! Happy week, awesome people!
