I have been engaged in some form of community informatics or other since late 1994, but for the past 6 or more years, I have put a lot of time into the community informatics conferences that are held in Prato, Italy. More recently, I have become involved with the Digital Doorway project in South Africa, and I hope to continue with this and related NGO activity in the future, whether in Australia or other countries. I'm also interested in theorizing community informatics as a form of social action for social change, rather than an information or management science that lives in isolation from the rich confusion of life on the ground.

In fact, I really fell into this line of action by accident. My other field of training & obsession was in the languages and cultures of ancient Mesopotamia. See this news report, though the object is actually even older than I originally thought.
