Improving Lives of the Poor With OS Public Purpose Applications
We’ll start with a brief discussion of public purpose applications and survey Ushahidi, FrontLine SMS and other exemplary efforts. Then we’ll break into an unconference around topics of this sort:
- Stretching the envelope with SMS
- Data apps on the cheap: Leveraging MXit, 0.Facebook
- Experiences with public purpose media
- Beyond Village Phone: Low capital startup ideas
Sponsor: One Economy Social Innovations Lab. We are starting a virtual community devoted to developing and promoting public purpose applications that help low-income people around the world obtain better education, jobs, health and government. See ApplicationsForChange.org.
