GRASS GIS	Jules Bañgate				GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) is a software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.
Mapping with Drupal CMS	Ranel Padon
Ushahidi and Crowdmap	Jules Bañgate				Ushahidi platform (http://ushahidi.com/products) is a tool to easily crowdsource information using multiple channels, including SMS, email, Twitter and the web.
