For those of you who are on the LinkedIn network, I have set up an "A12n"
networking group. It is for people working in the areas of: localization
("L10n") of software, .web content, and mobile technology in African
languages; internationalization ("i18n") support for such work; and research
and development of advanced applications / HLT for African languages. "A12n"
is the tech abbreviation for Africanisation.

To join the A12n group, go to this page:
http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/132951/040A29460ED4 .

The hope is that this group can be another tool to enhance peer networking
among diverse people who are actively interested in the meeting of African
languages with ICT, but whose work tends to take them in diverse directions
(PALNet, OLPC, FOSS/LL, proprietary software, HLT research, African language
teaching, etc.). It can also serve to raise the profile of our work in the
larger professional communities.

If you are not on LinkedIn, it is easy to join at http://www.linkedin.com/ .
