The OpenROSA consortium was formed in an effort to create a set of standards to allow mobile data collection tools to interoperate. These standards allow you to mix-and-match tools from Cell Life, Dimagi, DataDyne, UW, D-Tree, AED-Satellife and a number of other institutions. If you've used CommCare, EpiSurveyor, XLS2XForms, GATHER, Open Data Kit, JavaRosa, openXdata, PurcForms, Kobo, or EMIT, you have used an OpenROSA tool. OpenROSA is seeking applications from organizations mentor Coded in Country (CIC) organizations to complete OpenROSA-related projects. The objective of these projects is to engage mentoring organizations seeking to hire CIC partners in low-income countries for projects utilizing OpenROSA technologies. Applying organizations should have a goal to continue the relationship after the project is completed. OpenROSA will provide $5,000 for up to three projects to start in early 2011. The money will go to the implementing organization. The project should be of direct benefit to the mentoring organization. If you are interested in mentoring a project, please apply via http://openrosa.org/2010/11/mentor-a-cic-organization by December 13th. The selected projects will identify implementing organizations early next year, and then we’ll providing funding to complete the projects. If you have questions, email Neal Lesh at neal.lesh@gmail.com
