Excellent post by Dirk Gorissen on MSF Canada Drone Day.
I recently had the honour of attending the MSF Canada AGM in Montreal to join*Ivan Gayton*and Stephen Mather*(from*Open DroneMap fame) run a drone day for the MSF logisticians. The aim being to show the realm of the possible with current drone technology as well as touch on future trends and ethical considerations. A second agenda we had was to promote the democratisation of drone technology to enable crowd sourced imagery collection as part of the Missing Maps initiative.*
More specifically, the goal is to bring drone technology down to a level where*it can be*built, maintained, and*operated safely, responsibly, and independently by a local high school in South Sudan, the local University of Lubumbashi, or similar.*The full (draft) concept note behind this can be found here.
