Re: African development project

You'd be extraordinarily useful both to the ADP and to Project PM's governing network in general, and I'd like to have you involved in both. I'm sending you a link to both the ADP main collaborative doc as well as the branch financial issues doc (I imagine you'd have more to contribute to the former, the latter is simply for us to make decisions regarding red tape and fundraising), and will also be sending a link to another doc that we'll be using to make specific decisions as to how the governing network ought to run in case you have any interest in participating in that discussion.

Also, you'll hear from Clark Robinson soon; he's a retired lawyer out of Chicago whom I've put in charge of the ADP temporarily and who will be overseeing and orienting our new participants as we build up our entity into its final form. He can assist you in figuring out what exactly would be the best way for you to contribute, although you can also decide that for yourself by looking over our notes thus far and seeing what we've been discussing in terms of development assistance.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of what we're doing, feel free to call me at your convenience. Thanks again for joining Project PM; I can guarantee that the time and effort you put into this will result, both directly and indirectly, in more positive change than would more orthodox activities.

Hello!

My name is Justin Commu and I was referred to you by Timothy Ellis.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Toronto who studied a triple major of Anthropology + African Studies + Computer Science.
I have a great deal of experience with both historical and contemporary issues on the continent with specific regard to issues of sex, gender, and policy, particularity regarding western and southern countries.

As a computer scientist I have been heavily trained in problem solving through mathematics, logic, and software development. Currently, and during my studies, I have striven to merge my technological prowess with my passion for African politics. In the last 3 years of my degree I formulated, and implemented a wireless mesh network for doctors to use for the sharing of patient records in areas where political unrest ruled out the laying of fiber optic or copper cabling.

Tim has filled me in on your work and I have taken the time to read through the PM webpage so as to acquaint myself with the project.
I have attached my resume (more tech oriented) to give you a representation of my studies and work experience, if you feel there is anything I could do to help
with PM or ADP please let me know.

Kind Regards
Justin Commu
