+### Open Broadband Measurement Tools for Community Driven Data Collection
+{:.no_toc}
+
+{:.paper-description}
+As a part of the [Michigan Moonshot Webinar series](https://www.merit.edu/services/moonshot/community-events/#1584730458109-03431efd-3f4d), M-Lab Community Lead, Chris Ritzo, shared information about the publicly available datasets and tools from Measurement Lab (M-Lab), and how they have been used for planning, decision making, and advocacy. M-Lab is an open source, civil society led, global platform for measuring broadband Internet service. In addition to supporting a portion of the FCC’s Measuring Broadband America program since its beginnings, M-Lab’s open source tools and data have been used in similar initiatives on local and regional levels, enabling communities to gather data about broadband in their communities, including the Michigan Moonshot initiative.

{:.no_toc}
{:.paper-description}
+Staff from Simmons University, Measurement Lab, and Internet2 presented at the Schools Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition's annual AnchorNets conference, October 17, 2019 in Alexandria, Virgina. The session provided an introduction and update to the research project, Measuring Library Broadband Networks, in which partners are working together with public libraries in the United States to measure their broadband networks. The purpose is to better understand how libraries can leverage broadband to better serve their communities’ digital needs. Funded by a grant (award #LG-71-18-0110-18) from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Service (IMLS), the team will work with up to 60 libraries in rural, suburban, and urban communities through May 2020, to gather quantitative and qualitative data using participatory design approaches. The project aims to: understand the broadband speeds and quality of service that public libraries receive; assess how well broadband service and infrastructure are supporting libraries’ communities’ digital needs; understand broadband network usage and capacity, along with additional data that would be useful to public libraries in providing their communities with online software applications and social and technical infrastructure, and increase libraries’ knowledge of networked services and connectivity needs.

## Contract Opportunities with M-Lab
-**10/15/2019**
-M-Lab is seeking a contract developer to improve and build new features for a web application called Piecewise. This application is a public engagement portal, providing a web-based survey, M-Lab NDT test, and asks the user to consent to share their location to enable fine grained spatial aggregation of the data. Deployments of this application have enabled communities to gather their own data to support policy advocacy at the local level. Most recently, the MERIT network in Michigan used Piecewise in a pilot to study the homework gap in their state (https://mi.broadbandtest.us/).
-
-We now have funding to support taking Piecewise from a prototype application to a containerized or Software as Service product. This will enable more communities to easily deploy and use M-Lab tools and data for their advocacy, research, or public engagement.
-
-If you are interested in learning more, please review the [work scope]({{ site.baseurl }}/static/2019-2020_Piecewise_SOW.pdf), which describes the current application state, roadmap, and timeline; and reach out to M-Lab Community Lead, Chris Ritzo (critzo@measurementlab.net), or M-Lab Director, Lai Yi Ohlsen (laiyi@measurementlab.net).
