Social Innovation Camp News, 10th October

************************************



***** Four weeks remaining to enter your idea!*****

Our Call for Ideas for December's Social Innovation Camp is now at the half
way mark.  Only four more weeks to enter your idea!

Send us your idea <http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=6> for a web tool to
create social change and you could be joining 80 other participants to try
and make your idea a reality at December's Social Innovation Camp, 5th-7th
 December.

We're looking for the best ideas for web-based tools that could change
something important. This time, we want you to think BIG. What are the big
problems <http://www.sicamp.org/?p=193> we can solve by starting small?

Anyone can enter. You don't have to be technically-minded: it's all about
great ideas addressing real need.

You've got until Friday 7th November to *tell
us<http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=6>
 **about your idea for a chance to come to Social Innovation Camp December
2008.*


*****Call for Ideas: what we're looking for*****

 Need some inspiration? We've given you some hints about what we think makes
for a really good Social Innovation Camp idea
here.<http://www.sicamp.org/?p=201>

What excited us about the ideas that we helped along the
way<http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=137> at
our first ever Social Innovation Camp <http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=163> in
April really came down to three important things: proof of potential,
people-power and the technology (but not just for geeks).

Check out Enabled by Design's Denise Stephens talking about why she decided
to enter her winning idea into April's Social Innovation Camp
here<http://www.sicamp.org/?p=195>

****Next Social Innovation Meetup, Wednesday 19th November*****

Last week we hosted our very first  <http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=162>Social
Innovation Meetup <http://www.sicamp.org/?page_id=162>.

Thanks to all the people who joined us at the Hub Kings
Cross<http://the-hub.net/places/kingscross.html> to
hear Robin Blandford of Decisions for
Heroes<http://decisionsforheroes.com/> and
the Green Marketing Manifesto's John Grant <http://greenormal.blogspot.com/>,
as well as those who pitched in with their own ideas. If you missed out this
time, you can read all about it here <http://www.sicamp.org/?p=199>.

Social Innovation Meetups are informal evenings held each month for geeks
and people interested in how the web can create social change to come
together regularly and share a little wisdom or ask for help on what they're
working on – a little of what our big weekend events do, but more often.


Our next Social Innovation Meetup is on Wednesday, 19th November 2008 at
6.30pm. Sign up to come along here <http://web.meetup.com/158/>.
