Laddr

An online focal point for civic hacking communities to share the projects they are working on and connect with each other around them.

Requirements

The Laddr site is built on the Emergence PHP framework and engine, and requires an Emergence server to host it.

Emergence takes just a few minutes to setup on a Linux VM, and is designed to have a fresh system to itself. Once launched it will configure services on the machine as-needed to host an instance of the Laddr site along with any other sites, clones, or child sites. The guides for Ubuntu and Gentoo are most up-to-date: http://emr.ge/docs/setup

Free unlimited Emergence hosting is also available for civic projects on-request from calfano@codeforamerica.org
