Revision as of 19:17, 20 July 2008

Things to do and ideas to explore

To Do / questions?

  • look into audio blogging and maybe using it for the info line latest news feature
  • research re-purposing asterisk voice mail as a way to do 'latest news' on info line
  • see if there are better ways of doing text to speech or should we avoid it?
  • can callers send texts to basterisk? and how would that be useful if possible?
  • what use can we make of 'unlimited' texts? (something comms might find useful?)
  • could we do a 'useful numbers request' text back service?
  • phone based access to camp radio stream? is that stupid? (for listening maybe, but not the other way round)
  • any way to make conference rooms more useful in our context? (by combing them with text message invites?)
  • what can twitter do? can people set up unmoderated twitters?
  • how can we asterisk call logging as a tool for dispatch? (using grep and pipes?)
  • what can we do with skypephones, 4000 free minutes and skype to sip?

(send it out in the field for free access to blasterisk (via voxeo) for audio blogging/reports?) (use it as a roaming microphone/outdoor broadcast unit for the radio?)


General Ideas

  • using twitter to announce important more detailed news on infoline
  • twitter announced teleconferencing for working groups / affinity groups
  • group voice mail for working groups / affinity groups
  • audio blogs for individuals / affinity groups
  • automated questionnaire for arrest reporting
  • provide a call back service to legal support team / medics


info line specific ideas

  • days news summary (different from latest news)
  • todays workshops broken down into morning / afternoon
  • next workshops and locations
  • next meal - planned menus for each neighborhood
  • site wish list (useful before people arrive perhaps)
  • site job list (useful during the camp itself perhaps)
  • audio press statements?
  • reporting line guidelines / howto
  • tide times and weather

Budget and spending

Total £975 (there must be something missing.... about another £200, what is it?)

Would be good if we under spend somewhere so I can reimburse myself for 3G antenna and other expenses.

The power related stuff was take out of the budget proposal and moved to the power groups budget.


£450 for internet provision

To cover micks costs of getting the sat truck there, data tarrif etc

£200 for media team phones

based on last years spending, credit, phones etc

£150 for reporting lines telephony

I've signed up for a Solo contract (1,400 minutes, unlimted texts), which has 30 days notice for cancellation so will probably have to pay two month. ie £60

also purchased two PAYG skypephones ~£60

£100 for media pool

This is to cover storage media for the photo and video pool. Looks like we will get two 500gb drives at £50 each.

£75 for paper and printer ink
