- Amity MA is unreliable so using it for a case study does not appear fruitful. Les is working with Amity to try and understand this unreliability (emails 10/6/2018), they say "There is an internet problem we are taking care of it and will get back soon".
- The Android version of the PingER MA, is described with comments at ePingER on Android Native - Amity project (this a proposal/description from Aayush Jain)
- It describes a multipurpose, stand-alone device that can be widely distributed, something that we have brainstormed about for a long time.
Bebo mentioned it to Topher and he feels that their app (when completed and vetted by his team) could easily be installed as a default service on his rainforest monitors (certainly future ones, not devices already in place). Merging the service data that he already collects with that unique to PingER has the potential to lead to some interesting results. Bebo asks: should we try to increase our communication with Amity and do we have faith that they would follow through?
How should we proceed?
We agreed to request Amity to share the App and instructions with us; we will look at installing on a jailbroken Android phone at the San Francisco end and try it out.
Also encourage them to put together a paper. They are working on this. They have a 1st draft which Les has commented on 10/6/2018.
Also August 16th and again September 3rd and October 6th proposed a meeting between: Bebo, Umar and Les . and the Amity folks. No response. Bebo will try and contact also tried to contact.
