Hi Jennifer, I am indeed familiar with sumApp/Kumu.
I’m developing a set of sumApp surveys for groups and individuals with the Cooperative Development Institute Food Systems program. One goal is “to conduct a ‘netchain analysis’ of agrifood systems stakeholders and assets, assessing the needs and opportunities for building cooperative agrifood value chains, and provide a map for future cooperative development programs.” I’m accessing the new Tier IV sumApp features for this, allowing us to dynamically map person-to-person, group-to-group, and person-to-group connections over time.
I mention some of this in the proposal I submitted for a GOAT 2022 unconference session on “Creating Space for Open Technology Solutions in Support of Community and Regional Foodsheds”.
It would be great if sumApp or something like it could be integrated with the new network tools hylo is developing, perhaps using a customized version of the SurveyStack @gbathree and the folks at OpenSci are developing and hylo is employing…
As an early adopter, I’ve already set up SS surveys and a sandbox group on hylo to begin exploring this. I’d love to chat more about it with you and others at Omega, and am happy to share more details including the sumApp surveys
