all. Long time no post. Hope everyone is well. I've been deep
in the humanitarian/disaster technology mines. Finally, an
overlap between the work I've been up to, and my heydays with
y'all has come to pass. A group called Communitere [<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://communitere.org">communitere.org</a>],
which I really like (more community-based hackerspace than
dropped-in fablab) is setting up a space in Greece. I come to
you with a request for help in setting up access which also
tracks metrics associated with humanitarian work.</span>
<div><br>
<div><span>Our desired flow for gathering those metrics are
based on what sorts of actions we can take after the data
is gathered, how much information can be asked for in one
setting without being burdensome, and how to increase the
autonomy of the individuals and organizations answering
the questions (we expect to be working with refugees and
politically active Greeks).</span>
<div><span><br>
We anticipate the flow to be this:<br>
* First visit generates a unique identifier (required,
can be pseudonymous) and a way to get the person updates
(opt-in but encouraged).<br>
* Nth visit requests demographic information and
thoughts on how they would change the space (both
opt-in, with indicators of why it’s important for us to
know and how the information will be used).<br>
* N+X visit has more of a survey on how they use the
space, if their capacity has changed over time, etc
(same as above).</span></div>
<div>
<div><br>
We think we’re basically looking for a clock-/check-in
tool which auto-loads questions after a predetermined
number of someone entering the space. We’re working in a
resource-limited (but not -low) environment (we
anticipate intermittent power and internet). Our field
team is also not super technically savvy - asking
someone to “spin up a local instance” is unlikely to
work, although we could possibly throw some dollars at
an open source project being supported or adapted to
these needs.<br>
<br>
We can see implementation happening a few different
ways:<br>
* Bar/QR codes on laminated cards or stored locally to a
smartphone, scanned on an iPad or Android tablet at a
front desk kiosk.<br>
* A security person at the front desk to inputs the
person’s UID to a laptop or desktop computer.<br>
* An RFID reader which auto-sends a form to people via
their preferred method of contact after a certain number
of checkins, gives a different tone while the
questionnaire needs to be filled out.<br>
* Et cetera.<br>
<br>
If you know of anything which meets (or could meet
within 2 weeks) these needs, please do let me know!
We’re also looking at tool library software to link to
this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And of course, there are other spaces in Greece. We'd
love to support what is already happening - be in touch!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
