Camp for Climate Action 2008 Ideas

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?)
