organizations powered by volunteers. Given the current fiscal environment, these organizations often have a core volunteer base providing labor, but considerably smaller amounts of funding. Trail data is usually stored in random files and spread across multiple volunteers. Organizations are lucky if they are able to provide updated trail maps and timely notes on current trail status. What if there was a better way to focus the volunteers' time on areas that needed the most attention, while also getting the public more involved? Using open source and cloud technologies, we are able to build a platform that allows volunteer organizations to manage their data and make it available to the public anytime, anywhere. Additionally, the public is encouraged to get involved by providing the location and description of any trail issues right from the trail on their mobile device. This project explores the process of providing an integrated open source geospatial publishing and incident reporting platform that allows volunteer organizations to getup and running quickly by simply importing their data. This project targets the Bay Circuit Trail system, but the platform could easily be utilized by any number of volunteer organizations.  \nIntroduction  \nTrails are vital links to communities everywhere. Some are steeped in history and others provide opportunities for both recreation and transportation to all levels of people. Trails benefit communities by being a tourism boon and by providing safe locations for healthy activities for the citizens.
