> Dear colleagues and friends, 
> 
> It was great to meeting some of you at ICTD2010 in London last month!  
> 
> For those of you who are not already familiar with our work, MobileActive.org 
> is a non-profit organization devoted to providing resources for, and 
> supporting a network of, people and organizations using mobile technology for 
> social impact. 
> 
> The global network includes people from diverse backgrounds (NGOs, 
> Government, Aid organizations, Practitioners, Researchers, Mobile vendors, 
> Technologists, Students, Trainers, etc.) and our website houses a great deal 
> of resources, case studies and how-to guides. 
> 
> We endeavor to support you, the M4D community. One of our core goals is to 
> help reduce the learning curve and redundancy by better sharing experiences 
> of tried and tested programs and projects utilizing mobile tech.
> 
> To that end, some resources which may be of interest include: 
> Website - latest news, trends & analysis, and comprehensive case-studies 
> about mobile projects and initiatives from around the world ranging in topic 
> area (humanitarian response, mHealth, education, democratic participation, 
> economic development, agriculture, etc.) 
> Newsletter - a nice easy-to-read review of our latest resources, and news 
> about upcoming events, etc. coming to your inbox every month or so. Sign up 
> here.
> mDirectory - if you were ever looking for a repository of almost any research 
> paper written on the topic of mobiles for social development- it is here! We 
> maintain a comprehensive mDirectory of over 2500 entries summarizing mobile 
> apps, research papers and project case studies. And, if you have a paper 
> which is not already there, feel free to add to the directory.
> Discussion Group -- if you are not a member of the google group/discussion 
> list already, I would invite and encourage you all to join, as there is a 
> robust peer community which regularly shares experiences, opportunities and 
> fields questions regarding many facets of mobile tech in international 
> development. You can sign up here: 
> https://groups.google.com/group/mobileactive-discuss
> Finally, if you have, or know of, a M4D project we should profile or add to 
> the mDirectory - please let me know! 
> 
> We also regularly host informative (and fun!) participatory events/workshops 
> in New York and worldwide - hopefully one day you all will be able to join us 
> :) 
> 
> Looking forward to hearing from, and working with, you. 
> Warmest wishes for an excellent new year!
