Big Map to e-NABLE the Future
One Liner: For $7500, we can have an interactive google-earth-like world map/globe that will make it easy to collate, display and celebrate e-NABLE success stories from all over the world.
Background:
At our May 3 Town Hall meeting, I made a short pitch for $1000 in discretionary funding to have a company called Digital-E scope out the possibility that e-NABLE could have something like the (brittle but cool) Big Map to Save the Future I prototyped 2 years ago for the EcoRestoration Alliance.

At the June 7 Town Hall meeting the team from Digital-E presented a mockup and an architecture that could make it so. The folder containing their Phase 0 Deliverables now also includes proposal to do the deed for $7500.
(If you dig in to these documents, you'll see that I initially suggested they incorporate our Chapter Map into this. But that ain't broke, so we need not fix it. Ignore the Chapter tab in their mockups).
As is our custom, before putting this up for a vote, we welcome discussion.

I would totally support this. This could be a great way to see that we are changing lives and also what the scale is of our community and the impact we make. At this moment we really don't know much about how much impact we are making. At the hub we see many volunteers searching for recipients, but I am sure that there are many recipients found and helped. My Dutch chapter has it's own local collaborations and publications on media, that helps us find recipients. I am sure other chapters do this as well. So I expect that we have so much more impact, than we now know. Having something with which we can show, that we do have a big impact could be really beneficial.

Can we have this map marked in Indonesia?
How can we get registered?

Not knowing what are current Finances are, I'm unsure what way to go. What can we expect in the future?

@Richard A VanderMey. Thanks to Arrow Electronics, we have $93K in the coffer. Less than half of it is currently committed!

What is the decision you need to make?
Fund the above proposal.
Why is this important?
For $7500, we can have an interactive google-earth-like world map/globe (rather like http://bigmaptosavethefuture.net that will collate, display and celebrate e-NABLE success stories from all over the world.
This will help motivate e-NABLERs, funders, donors and recipients, and it will allow set the stage for a systematic process of counting and estimating a subset of our contributions.
Note: based on feedback from the community, we are NOT going to roll the Chapters Map into this project. The Chapters Map is alive and well, and being updated.
What are you asking people to do?
Vote to Agree, Disagree, or Abstain.
But PLEASE VOTE!
For this proposal to pass, we least 18 votes and at least 80% Agreement.

I feel that as technology grows so should we. This Proposal will take us into the future. If we can get help to even One Person, I support this all the way.
