TechSoup Global has entered The Financial Times-Justmeans Social Innovation Awards competition with winners selected by a panel of judges and presented in a New York City on March 23.

Your Vote Today For AMISPROJECT shall be a win- win for all . In this age when people will stop at NOTHING to get a livelihood for themselves ( and this calls to mind the hostage taking sprees along the Somali Coast where fishing has become less lucrative), we  believe that when communities numbering into the millions (70% of 20Million  Cameroonians Practice Farming) get a means of living honest lives, then the wider society to which we all belong shall be safe and protected from menaces.

We believe in the ability of AMISPROJECT to inform and transform farmers from beggars into well to do individuals, and when this happens they shall not feel the need to endulge in activities that endanger our common existence.

Tied in with the start of voting on the N2Y4 mobile challenge - Version 0.1.3 alpha of Community Mobile Channels has been released and is available at Sourceforge.

The major new features are detailed below: -

At NetSquared, we empower the community to identify the Projects with the most potential for social impact through our online "voting" process.  This post provides you with everything you need to know to winnow the field of +100 Mobile Projects in the NetSquared Gallery to a small field of Projects who will pitch their work to funders, developers and technology advocates at this year's NetSquared Conference.  

To avoid a popularity contest, we ask all voters to vote for at least (3) and up to (5) of your favorite Projects.  Please use the guidelines below to get started.

Since October, ideas about mobile technologies for good have been exciting the NetSquared community.  Today, and only for this week, you get to select the top 15 projects to move on in the USAID Development 2.0 Challenge!

You don't have to be part of a project team or even be a mobile tech expert to participate.  Go Vote! 

The deadline to vote for your favorite NetSquared Mashup Challenge projects is 5 PM PT---one hour from now!

The NetSquared Mashup Challenge is a community-based project so your votes will determine which 20 projects will go on to the NetSquared Conference (N2Y3).

Use your power wisely, and  vote.
