Now that we've officially fallen out of love with capitalism again, what better time to resurrect the Social Innovation Camp and invite the UK's brightest and best techies and visionaries to contribute ideas to help build a better world.
That's not too big a mission. The big idea is for web sites or services that will help solve some sort of social problem, help an existing non-government organisation or social group or start a whole new organisational tool. It might be a social issue, an environmental problem, health or education. Think like Freecycle, FixMyStreet, the Witness Video Hub or psiphon.

The last set of finalists, from SICamp in April, included the Visiting Prisons project, which aimed to make it easier for families to co-ordinate prison visits, On The Up to help young people with their personal skills and Stuffshare, a kind of stuff-swapping club. The overall winner was Enabled by Design, which helped people who needed more support to adapt to a new lfie after injury or physical impairment.
Now it's your turn. You have until November 7 to submit your idea, and only the best six will be picked for the final phase; that's the 48-hour camp itself to be held from December 5 to 7 at the Young Foundation in Bethnal Green.
