> Hi Till,
>
> here's the details to a potential keynote that fits the disaster topic.
> It's from a project from eHealth Africa [1] to fight Ebola. The talk was
> already presented at the JSConf EU [2] (a really high profile
> conference), that talk is really worth a watch. It was presented by
> Patricia Garcia, she was technical lead. She now longer works for
> eHealth Africa, but I don't think that's a problem.
>
> Its main topics are are how to reduce the response times. How open
> source was used. How great open source communities are. It also gets a
> bit technical about which lessons were learned from using Apache
> CouchDB, which mistakes were made and what you should keep in mind when
> you do sync.
>
> For me I'd expect non technical people to be impressed how fast such a
> system can be built and how great open source is, for technical people
> it gets into enough detail to be interesting.
