IRIS MSG

Iris was designed and developed by a number of people from Open Lab at Newcastle University and Open Lab: Athens... Iris, is a system that allows sending SMS text messages to a list of subscribers through SMS donors. People supporting your organisation, group or case can sign up to become 'donors' and donate a number of SMS messages for your cause. Everytime that you need to send a text to a list of subscribers (e.g. volunteers, staff, followers etc.) you share the cost of the text messages sent. As a result, the communication of the organisation becomes more transparent and decentralised. Donors, through the Iris app, are able to see the content of the announcements sent, the subscription lists and sending and delivery reports... Open Lab: Athens (OL: Athens) is an IT support and research capability based in Athens, Greece, and is a digital civics initiative of a collective of human-computer interaction research groups. Iris is a system inspired by the Solidarity Economy in Greece.
