Dear HCI folks who are interested in promoting HCI in developing worlds: In order to better support HCI in the developing worlds, ACM SIGCHI announced recently clarification and expanded guidance on appropriate proposals for the SIGCHI Development Fund. Please have a look at the SIGCHI Guideline for Supporting HCI in Developing Worlds that was just published at http://www.sigchi.org/news/amendment-to-acm-sigchi-development-fund-policy . We would be happy to discuss with you on any ideas in your efforts in maturing HCI communities in this part of the world.
