[Imc-drupal-dev] drupalcon anyone?

[Sasha Costanza-Chock]

Hi IMC drupalistas. So, we have this project kicking off in LA called 
mobile voices / vozes moviles. Basically, we are going to do a workshop 
with day laborers on how to publish stories directly from their 
cellphones (text, photos, and callin audio clips. maybe video clips 
too). The project has 3 components: 1. the workshops; 2. we're working 
with some folks at UCSD who are gonna write j2me applications for the 
Motorola iDen handsets we're using, maybe to make publishing easier for 
project participants; 3. we need to set up a CMS that will basically 
have all the needs of your average IMC, but optimized with the knowledge 
that most content will be submitted from mobile devices.

I know that there have been various IMC projects to enable mobile 
content submission and browsing, so we should be building from an 
existing body of successful tools. But we need help setting up the CMS 
and making sure it all works well.

Here's more info on the project: http://mobilevoices.net

Anyone who's interested, please respond either on list or to me offlist.

Oh yeah: it'll be drupal :P

peace
