Why?Why not?
Surveys are expensive – user panels and monitoring
Possibilities to put together:
Citizens’ experiences and knowledge
Official information Scientists’ needs
We just needed to try this out

What can we get?
Trading between potential users’ needs and scientists’ wants
We want location and frequency of visits vs. privacy
We’re interested things that the ordinary citizen might not care about
Specific data collection vs. generalist approach

What can we give?
We wanted a Baltic Sea wide app…
Pooling open data (satellite imagery, weather, water quality…)
hard to find for our purposes (time and expertise lacking)
Bathing water directive communications channel?
Up-to-date information sharing
Open source – the project ends, ensuring continuity? Adopt-an-app.

Constructing a tender
Uncertainty on the budget, lack of experience
We made a flexible tech description
Minimum requirements
Aspired levels
Asked around for potential open source coders
Hope for the best…

So, what happened then?

We made a deal with Metropolia
University for the fall of 2016
2 competing groups of studentsWE ARE OPEN FOR ALL SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS
Make an app you would like to use - looks neat, works nice!

Testing, testing, one, two, three
– Where to get the people? Voluntary testing experiences poor
– There is interest, but success would (?) require polishing and
endorsement/adoption by a respectable player

Eye-openers
– Number and range of things to take into account
• Technical issues
• Budgeting
• Bureaucracy
• Continuity
Keep things simple, really really simple
Keep pushing, something may come out of it one way or
another
