Social Innovation Camp Scotland

On my very first tweet, I got my knuckles rapped for leaking this to Cyberspace before it was time, now it is just plain old news, but for those that don’t know, this is a great idea and Whitespace are hoping to get involved.

From Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2009 at the Saltire Centre in Glasgow, the Social Innovation Camp will bring together some of the best of the UK’s software developers and designers, together with those at the sharp end of social change.

They’ll have just 48 hours to build some web-based solutions to a set of social problems – from back-of-the-envelope idea to working prototype, complete with software.

And for a chance to join them at the Social Innovation Camp weekend, you can enter your idea for a web-based tool to create social change through their website – they’re looking for the most exciting ideas for how the web could change stuff that really matters.

Anyone can get involved: you don’t need to be based in Scotland.
