The Haiti Rewired Connected Systems Group is interested in engaging Krik?...Krak! in collaborative open source software development projects that will benefit civil society in the new Haiti.  The Connected Systems Group was founded to focus on identifying and collaborating on software technology concepts and designs to help get Haiti Rewired. The group is also intended to serve as an incubator and hub for open source initiatives in this space.  Our approach is to partner with others who have a deep connection with Haitian culture and infrastructure needs in order to maximize the benefits of our efforts.  Krik?...Krak! presents a great opportunity for such a partnership.

If Krik?...Krak! is interested in opening a channel of communication to begin a conversation around possible collaboration on open source software design and development projects please join us in Haiti Rewired's Connected Systems Group.
