We are creating an open-source (MIT license for code, CC BY-SA 4.0 for database) map/database/API for all the innovation spaces everywhere! This Atlas will merge existing lists of community innovation spaces from disparate maps onto a single, open-source platform— with an API so our data can be easily shared across other platforms. A tagging system will enable all spaces to share goals and find collaborators across interests such as electronic waste, prosthetics, 3D printing, primary education, green materials, water purification, etc.
We have three primary criteria for including a given “community innovation space” on our map:
Community: a physical space or event that is eager to collaborate with others-- it must be either open to the public or available for outside partnerships
Technology: utilizes old and/or new technology, including hardware, software, metal-working, handicrafts, repurposed trash, farming, etc.
Innovation: promotes creativity and nurtures new ideas
From July through December 2016, our team will develop, test, and then implement the platform to collaboratively host all these spaces.
This is an open source and not-for-profit initiative sponsored by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the Fab Foundation, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

We use TLSH as a way of detecting spaces that may be repeated in the DB, to build follow this steps:
sudo apt-get install cmake
./make.sh
If you get no errors, now is time to build the python extension
