Some personal news.

It is impossible to overstate how important @FrontlineSMS has been to me over the last 11 years, or how much it shaped my life and view of the digital rights space.

Stewarding this product has been the privilege of my professional life.

[FrontlineSMS \o/ @FrontlineSMS]

We are re-releasing the updated FrontlineSMS as a free, open source, downloadable software. \o/

And, we are closing the company. /o\

It's been a long, rewarding, road to here - we're grateful to our community, team, clients, and supporters. \o/

After the @iclr_conf edition, I found that papers I reviewed shared a common source of potential improvement, which I believe could help producing more impactful solutions.
