Hi All, 

We’ve had a lively debate at Akvo over the past week on the positioning of data collection apps as “free” in the international development space. It’s something that comes up a lot in discussions with our partners.

One of my colleagues, Peter van der Linde wrote a blog about this: http://akvo.org/blog/free-is-great-as-long-as-you-dont-depend-on-it/

I would love to have your views on this topic, and was wondering if you have articles or blog post you could recommend?
Also feel free to add you comments below the blogpost if you want to contribute to the discussion. 

Best regards,
Josje
