Automated Telephone Calling

[kiplingw]

Hey forum. An organization I'm affiliated with sometimes needs to contact all of its members (not spam) to confirm their attendance at certain events. They can't send out invitations by email because many don't have email accounts or are not "tech savvy" enough.

Does anyone know of a free application for Ubuntu that can do the following? Take a list of contacts, phone them, play an automated message, and then note whether they hit a certain button on the keypad to confirm their attendance.

I'm not even sure what the "genre" of this type of telephony application would be.

Thanks.

Thanks dFlyer, but I think that is just for recording.
