Subject: [i-network] ICT Training on Freedon Fone (Open Source Software for
IVR and Audio Mobile Messaging) in Kampala
To: I-Network Uganda <[email protected]>
Dear all,
Makerere University in conjunction with Freedom Fone is organizing a free 3
day training on the use of this mobile voice based messaging software
Freedon Fone. Freedom Fone is a free and open source telephony platform. It
provides an easy way to create interactive information services with
audiences that may only have access to mobile phones.
Freedom Fone can be used to target communities that have been marginalized,
those living below the international poverty line and those that are
underprivileged. Freedom Fone offers two way communications and
information sharing to these communities.
Using cell phones, which most people in the developing world have access
to, Freedom Fone seeks to partner it with interactive audio programming
focused on issues that matter to people – agriculture, education, health,
treatments for diseases and other important subjects. When a user dials
in, they are greeted by voice menus that share pertinent information, in
the user’s language, which makes them a smart tool for both disaster/crisis
response and as a way to engage radio stations and radio listeners – still
the top way to get information out in the developing world.
The target is 10 participants and selection will be based on a first come
first serve basis. Please contact off list if you are interested. Meals and
teas are provided as well accommodation for upcountry participants. The
venue is yet to be decided but should be around Kampala
