Call for Action (CfA) is a 4 day intensive seminar on mobile phones and activism. Each session will review existing tools for social change, cover techniques for mobile hacking, and piece together new experiments. International speakers ranging from community activist to UNICEF will discuss problems with existing ICTs, and suggest parameters for new system. We will review protocols like VOIP, SMS, and Asterisk to look at how they may be reused or reconfigured. Participants are requested to attend all sessions.
