SMS4D-2: the Cloud-based SMS Solutions Salon

By Wayan Vota on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 | 0 Comments |

Now that your interest was piqued with last month's SMS for Development Technology Salon, get ready for SMS4D-2: the Cloudy Salon.

On June 10th, we're having another round of SMS-focused guests, this time their solutions are cloud-based vs. last month's local administration. Joining us will be:

Matt Berg discussing ChildCount+, based on RapidSMS
Gannon Gillespie explaining the Jokko Initiative from Tostan
Mike McKay describing both Happy Pill and Patatat
And Josh, James, Ben, and Wayan again on FronlineSMS usage models

You'll need to RSVP for this Salon via SMS. To join us, text SMS4D, your name, your organization to the live SMS:Gov demo at (202) 506-0148. For those that need an example, I would send "SMS4D, Wayan Vota, Inveneo" (w/o quotes).

Be sure to RSVP ASAP, as we only have room for 15 people, then there will be a waitlist - last month it was 45 people deep!
