This document discusses the development of an application called Urgent Appeals Map by Amnesty International Czech Republic. It was created at a hackathon involving 4 NGOs and over 20 IT professionals to combine open data with new technologies in order to empower people. The map would display urgent human rights cases needing attention. It highlights both the opportunities and challenges of collaboratively creating such an application under time constraints in just 2 days.
