I saw that you were writing about the Netsquared Mashup challenge and I wanted to share a little bit about our Mashup Challenge entry: Assetmap.org/uganda. You can read more at http://www.assetmap.org/uganda

The question behind the project is this: with peace on the horizon after 20 years of war in northern Uganda, and the big NGOs soon heading off to other war zones, who is going to support community organizations and northern Ugandan civil society as it transitions to peace time?

By mapping information about ongoing community-led philanthropic partnerships in northern Uganda, assetmap.org/uganda helps American citizens aggregate their resources to support post-conflict transformation.

We hope to facilitate collaboration among American donors and volunteers by providing a digital tool that:

•maps project locations so you know who’s working where
•tags information about the specific issues projects and organizations seek to address
•links tagged and mapped projects to the facebook and LinkedIn profiles of participating donors or volunteers

We can definitely use votes from the U.K. and elsewhere. Our initiative is one of the more grassroots among the mashups. We don't have a huge mailing list to bug for votes. The blogosphere is going to have to rise to the challenge for Social Actions to make it to the Net2 conference. By the way, thanks to PledgeBank our google map is displaying campaigns in Europe and elsewhere. Your social action platform is one of the few that clearly identifies location. Please have a look: http://mashup.socialactions.com/map And, don't forget to vote. The voting process is a little tricky. If anyone gets confused, please shoot me an email: peterdeitz@gmail.com Thanks in advance for your support. Hi Heather, Thanks for blogging about the Social Actions mashup project.
