Demo: Teleweaver - Next Generation Enabler for Rural Telecentres and Access Nodes

Summary form only given. Teleweaver is an integrated platform built from open source software that provides a framework for the delivery and deployment of services that are targeted specifically for marginalised communities. The system uses well known technologies such as Java EE, OSGi and the Spring framework to create digital nodes that can be deployed in underserved areas. Reed House Systems, the software firm behind Teleweaver, has strong links with academia through Rhodes University (coe.ru.ac.za) and uses its partnership with Siyakhula Living Labs (dwesa.org) to enable an ecosystem that focuses on developing culturally relevant services for the community. The demo will showcase the latest iteration of the Teleweaver system and will act as a tool to engage with researchers on how they can also get involved in the initiative.
