Eriol introduces themselves as a designer who works at Ushahidi, a nonprofit that creates open source software for crisis mapping and response. Their goal is to increase design contributions to open source and humanitarian projects. Some barriers they discuss are that designers often don't understand open source software or find GitHub intimidating. They suggest ways to address these issues such as connecting designers already working in this area, integrating design tools with open source workflows, and providing guidance on how designers can contribute.

- 3. Helping people raise their voice and those who serve them to listen and respond better A tool to help other teams reach each other everyday and in a crisis. On any device. We were able to map all the health facilities in Kathmandu Valley before the earthquake, which will undoubtedly help the relief workers’ ability to deliver supplies and help save lives.
