We've completed our contextual enquiry into Internet cafes in Johannesburg and are blown away with what we've found. The final paper is here: "Communal computing and shared spaces of use: a study of Internet cafes in developing contexts".

Every year the IA Institute offers two progress grants. This year we got one of those for this research and would really like to thank the grants committee for choosing us. Special thanks also to Karl Fast who helped with getting the paper ready for the Summit.

We're not full blown researchers here at jh-01 but it goes to show what can happen with a little help from the community of IA.
