For a brief summary, please view: http://smartercleanup.org/

We are building a geography based community monitoring platform. Our goal is to empower residents to monitor environmental health issues and engage with local leaders to address their concerns. Our first release is focused on the Lower Duwamish River superfund site in Seattle, WA.

We were inspired by the GarageLab collective in Buenos Aires, Argentina who built Que Pasa Riachuelo to monitor the pollution along the Riachuelo river basin.

Submit a Report

Adding reports is easy. The simple interface lets users quickly drop pins on the map with descriptions and other useful information.

Comment on Reports

Engage your audience in meaningful conversation. Users can leave [rich media] comments on reports.

Explore Rich Environmental Data

Overlay pertinent geographic data. Applying custom vector data to our Geoserver, the Hey Duwamish! map can pull in GeoJson and WMS URLs as additional map layers.

Mapbox Projeplct Integration

Import a Mapbox project to enhance project management into the map

Explore Reports and Comments

The map allows users to find reports and comments in their areas of interest.

Show Support

Need to know which reports are most popular? Users can vote for their favorite reports to show their support.

Social Sharing

Harness the power of viral marketing. Users engage their social network when they share reports on Twitter and Facebook.

Activity Feed

See a list of recently submitted reports, comments, and support.

Responsive Design

We've designed Hey Duwamish to work great and look beautiful on all screen sizes—desktop, mobile, and touch screens!

Configurable Surveys

Want to collect specific information? Our flexible data storage allows you to create your own surveys. Crowdsource more than just comments.

Internationalization

We currently offer a Spanish version of our website, but we are looking to include a Vietnamese version soon

In the spirit of free software, everyone is encouraged to help improve this project.

Here are some ways you can contribute:

• by reporting bugs
• by suggesting new features
• by writing or editing documentation
• by writing specifications
• by writing code (no patch is too small: fix typos, add comments, clean up inconsistent whitespace)
• by refactoring code
• by resolving issues
• by reviewing patches

Hey Duwamish! requires python2.6 or greater.

Install pip and virtualenv, if not already installed. These will keep your python code isolated from the rest of your machine and ensure you have the correct versions.

easy_install pip
pip install virtualenv

You may need to use sudoto install these tools.

sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install virtualenv

Create a new virtual environment inside of the repository folder, and install the project requirements:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: If you run into trouble with gevent, you can safely comment it out of the requirements.txt file. It is not needed for local development. To comment it out, just add a hash "#" to the beginning of the line for gevent.

NOTE: If you have trouble with pip install -r requirements.txt, you may need to install the Python development libraries (for Python.h). The Windows installation has them by default, but some UNIX-based systems with a pre-installed Python may not. On such systems, you may need to run sudo apt-get install python-dev or download a fresh installer from python.org.

NOTE: Mac OS X users need a command line C/C++ compiler in place for the above steps to work. This can be done by downloading Xcode from the App Store and then installing the Command Line Tools via Xcode's Preferences > Downloads area.

Next, create a file under src/.env that will be used for loading your Shareabouts environment variables:

DUWAMISH_SITE_KEY='abcd'
DUWAMISH_SITE_URL='http://example.com'

To run the development server:

src/manage.py runserver

The server will, by default, be started at http://localhost:8000/. It is already configured for Hey Duwamish! but here is the documentation if you want to configure it.

NOTE: If you're new to programming with virtualenv, be sure to remember to activate your virtual environment every time you start a new terminal session:

source env/bin/activate

Many features are powered by Shareabouts, an open-source project of OpenPlans.
