[LRUG] Social Innovation Camp

[Katherine Hui]

Hi everyone,

Social Innovation Camp is back this December and we're looking for the  
best ideas for web-based tools that could change something important.

It was great to see a good few of you come along last time - hope some  
of you can make it again.

Over one weekend from 5th-7th December 2008, the Social Innovation  
Camp is bringing together some of the best of the UK's software  
developers and designers with those at the sharp end of social  
problems. Their mission will be to accelerate six back-of-the-envelop  
ideas to working prototype web tools that could change the world in  
under 48 hours.

Send us your idea for a web tool to create social change before 7th  
November and you could be joining 80 other participants to try and  
make your idea a reality.

Don't have an idea to enter but still want to get involved? We're also  
looking for talented software developers and designers, as well as  
those with business, fundraising, legal or other expertise needed to  
get an idea off the ground. Sign up to come along here.

Take a look here for more info on how it worked when we held our first  
SI Camp back in April.

And for some examples of the kinds of ideas we're after, watch SI  
Camp's April winner talk about her idea, Enabled by Design, here and  
take a look here at the other ideas we helped along over the weekend.

Anything else you'd like to know etc, get in touch.

Thanks!

p.s. If you can't make December, we also run monthly Meetups - a  
little bit of what we do at our weekend events, but more often.
