We created a sound collection application for Android smartphones called Jiu Valley Sounds. The map shows “waypoints” that other participants have submitted representing locations where culturally-relevant sounds can be recorded, identified with the red pins.
The contact spreadsheet includes columns to organize names, locations, personal career descriptions, role in the project, contact information, and past correspondence. Rows are color coded based on the type of contact: Active, Inactive, or Recommended.
We also created a contact tree to visualize these contacts. Green bubbles indicate active contacts. Yellow bubbles indicate recommended contacts. Yellow bubbles with a green outline indicates contacts that have participated in past correspondence.
We created a Facebook profile and page to promote the application and project, as well as to send messages and communicate with community members. The page provides an account under which we can join local Facebook groups to continue to grow the network, as well as promote the app.
