And if you are interested in getting involved with iHub/iHub Research folks but aren't in a position to move to Nairobi, Angela Crandall, iHub Research Project Manager, and I are going to run a joint research group with Kenyan and UW students in the fall. We're working on the details, but the general goal is gaining collaborative research experience to inform some product or service design (most likely mobile), and we're thinking of potentially working with Somali communities in Nairobi and Seattle. We'll use skype liberally for the project, and students will work in teams across the two sites. If you're interested in participating, let me know. o Both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to participate.

iHub is a coworking space and business incubator in Nairobi. They've doing a ton of exciting work (e.g., http://whiteafrican.com/2012/05/23/the-ihub-ux-lab-and-supercomputer-cluster...) and iHub Research (http://www.research.ihub.co.ke/pages/home.php) is a great example of their forward thinking approach.
