You can read more at http://www.assetmap.org/uganda The question behind the project is this: with peace on the horizon after 20 years of war in northern Uganda, and the big NGOs soon heading off to other war zones, who is going to support community organizations and northern Ugandan civil society as it transitions to peace time? By mapping information about ongoing community-led philanthropic partnerships in northern Uganda, assetmap.org/uganda helps American citizens aggregate their resources to support post-conflict transformation. We hope to facilitate collaboration among American donors and volunteers by providing a digital tool that: •maps project locations so you know who’s working where •tags information about the specific issues projects and organizations seek to address •links tagged and mapped projects to the facebook and LinkedIn profiles of participating donors or volunteers If you're interested in supporting us, please visit and vote for us here: http://www.netsquared.org/2008/conference/projects/assetmap-org-uganda Thanks!

I'm now working on a social networking project which is oriented on young people who are studing TV producing and other creative media arts. The project in it's current state is kind of mash-up itself, at we use Ning as a social network platform, and embeding Ning feeds to ourr main site, using social video services too. The organisation behind the project is Foundation for Social Development "World withjut Borders", who organised TV producing classes for children, and engaged me to work on this internet project. It isn't clear to me if it's correct to go for the challenge, but maybe some developers would like to help us, and the result may be good enough for the challenge. Hello Seth!
