VozMob

Multimedia stories posted from your mobile phones.

We're developing a system based on customizing drupal and create multimedia stories directly into the site generated from lowend phones as long as they support MMS.

It is also 2-way.   Information can be sent from the site out back to phones.   People can rate and comment on the stories directly from their phones.

A physical paper newsletter was created from stories posted via VozMob.   It philosophically about helping people retake control of their own communities by voicing their issues.

Everything we do is free and open source and we are customizing drupal and writing open modules for drupal, so if we ran out of money, the software we've written will be useful to the open source community.   Code is located at code.vozmob.net

The difficulty in taking this to Africa is the MMS works differently in the US and Africa.   Converting MMS to email potentially costs more money.

The entire project is run by consensus.   When we talk about remixing the web for social change we really mean creating tools that enable people to lead themselves out of oppression and away from problems that adversely affect them.
