The Bangladesh River Journey, a BBC World Service project to track climate change, for which we built the interactive mini-site, has recently received two prestigious awards. These awards recognise the innovative way that the project brought social media reporting on important global issues into an engaging user-experience.

I have recently had a technical article about Location-Based Publishing and Services published at Dev.Opera. It’s all about the rising use of geographical coordinates in association with media on the Web, and how to get involved.
For the benefit of the Dharmafly archives, I’ve copied the article below.
Social Innovation Camp was a rollercoaster! From the very first evening, when the delegates gathered at the Young Foundation in London, there was a perceptible buzz in the air…

I’ve submitted “Social Compost” as a project proposal to Social Innovation Camp.
SI Camp is a grassroots conference, where social entrepreneurs and web developers get together to help each other out. A number of great ideas have been submitted, a few of which will be selected for the event. My idea is to connect local people [...]
We were happy to have attended Tuesday’s launch of UnLtdWorld, a social networking site for social entrepreneurs.
UnLtdWorld brings together people and businesses who make a difference in the world and connects them with potential co-workers and supporters. It aims to be a hot-bed for collaboration, the sharing of services and the pooling of resources.

Goodwill and loveliness to all our friends, colleagues, clients and peers.
It’s been a truly transformational year. Can’t wait to see what 2008 has in store…
Well, this one didn’t get blogged yet… Back in June, we stayed up all night at the BBC / Yahoo Hack Day in London. The task was to combine data sources and build something experimental - and a little bit edgy.
We forged a script to enhance mainstream news sites (such as BBC News) with a [...]

It has been a sobering experience to see reports of the Bangladesh cyclone - and to watch them flow through the Bangladesh River Journey site we built for BBC World Service. The project’s original aim was to expose [...]
We gave a 30 minute session at BarCamp London called "Yoga and the Social Graph: from smoke-signals to self-realisation"…

The Bangladesh River Journey is a mashup of posts from a BBC World Service trip to track the effects [...]
We ran an interactive workshop at BarCamp Brighton: "How to Save the World and Succeed in Business". This is the perennial question for Dharmafly, and instead of telling anything, we wanted to get the answers from the crowd…
