Luxembourg - Under Surveillance
It's like GeoCaching, but with a touch of political hacktivism.
http://lyon.sous-surveillance.net/ is an interactive map with loads of information about nearly every single camera in Lyon (France), with extended information as: position, photo, angle, location, owner, etc. The project has been called into life by the Lyon Hackerspace and is about being deployed as a global solution with the purpose to track every surveillance camera in the world.
Once upon a time, there was a map of nearly all CCTV systems in Luxembourg City; available on http://mallory.lu/ As this project has some kind of died or is just simply not available anymore to the public, we decided to revive it, but in a larger context.
Every user / citizen should be able to help track down the cameras and easily submit the related information to the map.
We have the privilege to be the first international country that joined this specific movement.
