A report has been posted on the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) HWID 2009 Working Conference on Usability in Social, Cultural and Organizational Contexts held on October 7-8, 2009, Pune, India.

The theme of Cultural Usability and Human Work Interaction Design was very timely and relevant for India, given the increasing investment by the government in e-governance, e-learning, e-health and applications of information systems to empower the rural and agricultural population of India. Cultural usability is also highly relevant to the work of information technology in India in providing solutions for customers world wide.
