Ask HN: Emergency "Management" Software?
4 by rrnechmech | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Folks, I seem to vaguely recall that such a thing exists and was wondering if I could... count on you all to help me locate it. I am looking for something that I would describe as an open source emergency or crisis "management" platform. Something that would enable volunteers, resources, locations to be managed efficiently in a (hopefully) single online platform that can be self-hosted with as meager resources as possible or alternatively, if such a thing exists, hosted by some third party. Something that would enable organizations also to register themselves in a CRM kind of capability, but one that ideally would have as many features as possible that would come in handy under extreme circumstances, earthquakes, floods, and the like. I am sure that somebody must have come up with some solution enabling a core set of features such as I am describing, or that at least best practices must exist for this sort of software. Any pointers are appreciated.

New ask Hacker News story: Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket?

Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket? 2 by rexarex | 0 comments on Hacker News. The eTicket is what we use for flights today instead of physical, paper tickets printed on special paper. My understanding of the lore is that it was invented by Southwest Airlines or a company they acquired. That's what I heard on a How I Built This podcast episode with the founder of JetBlue. It's also mentioned in this research paper here https://ift.tt/RB63DSb Strangely, when I was googling I found what I suspect to be planted misinformation in a Bangkok Post article where someone named Joel Goheen claims to have invented the eTicket on JRG Airlines (https://ift.tt/bTyawJM). JRG Airlines does not exist, and appear to be just the initials of Joel R Goheen. However, he appears on a U.S. Patent for eTicketing for 1994 the same time they started using eTickets. (https://ift.tt/tzSTHf2) I think it's really strange. I did some googling of his name and eTicket and there ap...
