Mapping your world with Ruby

In the wake of the March 2011 earthquake, many noticed a lack of good environmental data regarding radiation. The Safecast project was born from that need and our Ruby-based infrastructure how is home to nearly 70 million data points.

In this talk we'll go over the basics of the project, what we've learned over the last 6 years of running a volunteer-based Ruby project, and our plans for future expansion into tracking both radiation and air quality data.
