I'll leave other users get in touch if they're able to help out, but in the meantime you may like to watch the introductory video which gives you some background on the software:

http://frontlinesms.ning.com/video/2052630:Video:17509

There are also a couple of training videos which show FrontlineSMS in action.

If you go to the "Members" tab you can also search for people who live in your country (just type a country name) and message them directly. That might be a good way of reaching out.

Hope some of that helps!

Comment by Peter J. Bury on July 20, 2011 at 11:52am: How to get handson experience up front?

I'm considering since a long time to start using FrontlineSMS. But before investing resources, I'd like to get some handson experience. Is there any chance to join an existing (experimenting) group of frontlineSMS users to just feel how it works to use frontlineSMS with a group of people?

If you know of any opportunity or have other relevant suggestions, please let me know here! Thanks so much, Peter at IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre.

Comment by Domingo Liotta on June 18, 2011 at 2:31pm: FrontlineSMS has so many useful applications for help to address social problems.

I´d like to know how Frontliners approach decision makers that have no idea about the possibilities of Mobile Alert Systems.

How have our FL community begin their process of social change?

Thanks for your input :)
