The Twilio.org initiative aims to support nonprofits through open source tools and communications technologies, providing simple and easy-to-use apps that can be deployed quickly in disaster recovery situations or community organization. The Twilio.org Open Source Rapid Response Kit contains a series of basic communication apps, including Auto-Respond, Broadcast, Conference Line, Forwarder, Ringdown, Simple Help Line, Survey, and Town Hall, which can be forked and deployed on the spot. These tools are designed to help developers and organizations focus on making an impact rather than spending time coding, and are built with love by Twilio engineer Matt Nowack. The initiative also highlights powerful open source projects from partners who have changed the world with their communications solutions, such as the Polaris Project and Code for America, and invites the community to contribute to this effort, whether through building new tools or helping make existing ones better.
