Social Innovation Camp

The Social Innovation Camp in London sounds interesting (via Chris Heuer via JD Lasica) –
From a Friday evening to Sunday afternoon we had over 80 talented developers, designers, social needs experts, mentors, facilitators and those with business, marketing and legal skills to help accelerate seven early-stage ideas for web-based tools to change the world.
We set them the challenge of building seven social start-ups in less than 48 hours and let them loose.
But this weekend wasn’t supposed to just be about winning or making a back-of-the-envelope idea a reality.
Social Innovation Camp is also about practically demonstrating just what web-enabled people-power can do to change important things. All of our seven ideas are about building platforms which allow people to organise things better for themselves using digital tools.
I like such idea to reality in 48 hours unconferences, and this one even has a social innovation theme. Let’s do one in Mumbai when I’m back.
