I'm a little late to the party as far as announcing that the Open Mobile Consortium (OMC) has launched - but, better late than never. We've been part of the working group since the very beginning and are proud to be a part of such a great group of people and organizations. The OMC is all about open source mobile phone software, with a focus on humanitarian needs.

"OMC members share a vision that by working together to drive grassroots mobile technology innovation in some of the most challenging, resource-poor environments in the world, they will create a simple, flexible, and reliable set of technology that enable to individual and organizations anywhere in the world to effect social change."

If you're doing the same type of software development as the others of us in the consortium, please get in touch. Robert Kirkpatrick of InSTEDD is the Chair of the OMC, you can reach out to him if you have any questions or comments. The website was created by the wizards of Development Seed (these guys really are the best Drupal shop I've come across).
