Collaborations
Rio: next phase of contract for 20K - The contract would be 15-20k to support this CEDAPS for this expansion phase to 4 more communities and to advise on the overall standardization of a UNICEF mapping package including grassroots mapping, and the geotagged rich media, and potentially SMS. Deliverables include a guidebook (with 6 sections in the notes document, linked below), and planning next phase of MIT cell phone mapping system (showcasing our basemap as underlays). In terms of what is actually happening on the ground this fall, First up, the community youth leaders plan how to lead the workshops themselves, do start to finish instead of hurrying through image collection.

can we do map stiching locally in Rio? Support from a distance? is this worth our time? we need to be fairly compensated for it...more than last time.
how can we price out this next phase? write what is involved and attach hours.
institutionalization: why would we support UNICEF to institutionalize our methods? don’t we do this work directly?
local non-profit: can they handle it now? can they handle it after this next phase (whether or not if plots gets paid)?
language: should we base this on a project that we develop in English language
co-branding: considering our license agreement -- anything they publish should have our name on it.
take into account: frontline SMS not working with Joe
