Hi,

I would try these steps (probably in this order):

1.  Visit a university library, look through all computer journals,
identify titles that might be relevant.   Ask the reference librarian
where to find the index for those journals, and browse.  Or maybe
they have an online way to browse the journals' indexes.

2.  Visit cpsr.org, Computer Professionals for Social Responsiblity

3.  Email or call CPSR for info:  650-322-3778, cpsr@cpsr.org

4.  Google "socially responsible computing" and follow promising
leads.

CPSR has many chapters all over the world, and consequently
many people in 3rd world countries they could put you in
touch with.   I agree, free software is especially important
in developing economies.
