Published by the Annenberg Press, ITID is a multidisciplinary, quarterly open access publication. The journal is now inviting submissions for a *Gedenkschrift* memorial issue honoring the life and work of Gary Marsden. Gary Marsden was a full Professor of computer science at the University of Cape Town where he directed the ICT4D research center. He passed away suddenly in December of 2013, shortly after chairing a very successful ICTD conference in Cape Town. Gary was a passionate scholar of international acclaim and a dear friend to the ITID community. He is already deeply missed. We are primarily soliciting research papers on themes relevant to or influenced by Gary's work including the areas of: · HCI and international development (HCI4D) · Mobile interaction design · Computer science education in Africa Research contributions should be theoretically grounded and methodologically sound and are also welcome from (and across) diverse disciplinary boundaries including social science, design, and computer science. Contributions are especially welcome from researchers based in developing regions and those involved in cross‐continental collaborations. In addition we will consider personal essays honoring Gary's work and impact, particularly from his former students and collaborators. Authors interested in submitting an essay are required to first contact the special issue editors with a short overview. Special issue editors: William D.
