/Crowdring is a campaign-aiding mobile petition tool. The creators of the project Deepa, Adriana, Leo and Carina have experimented with 'missed calls' as a public engagement tool in 2011 and received an overwhelming response.
They now want to launch the /Crowdring website as an open-sourced tool, available for anyone to tweak, hack and share.The idea behind the project is to include everyone in the world with a basic campaign to make a difference in the world. The petition signature does not require an Internet connection or a smartphone.
Once a petition has been created, it can be advertised through various channels and the amount of free missed calls will be shown as legitimate signatures to make the necessary changes in any part of the world.
