Derek ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Glen Mehn Date: Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 2:34 PM Subject: [refresh-edinburgh] [Sort-of-OT] Join us for the Social Innovation Camp weekend, 17th-19th June 2011! To: refresh-edinburgh at googlegroups.com Hello all, We?ve spent the last 10 weeks scouring the country to find the most promising back-of-the-envelope ideas that use web and mobile-based technology to solve a social problem. We had a huge 97 ideas submitted to Social Innovation Camp June 2011 and our judges have chosen just six of the best to help build over one weekend, from 17th-19th June 2011 at the Informatics Ventures Forum, Edinburgh. And here they are: 1.) invisibleRamps - a site for people with cognitive and psychological disabilities ? from colour-blindness to autism ? to suggest ways to make buildings, public spaces and workplaces more accessible 2.) Homeshare - A site that matches older people who have a spare room with unpaid interns who need somewhere to stay for the duration of their internships 3.) Bubble - a mobile game for tracking and encouraging social contact between people 4.) Foodini - a mobile app and website providing real-time information on local food deals 5.) Lend-a-hand - a messaging tool for carers to ask family, friends and neighbours for help with quick-and-easy every-day tasks where a little bit of brief help goes a long way 6.) Volunteer Impact - inspired by the happiness-tracking app, Mappiness, this is a tool for volunteers to self-measure the impact volunteering has on their personal well-being Now we?re looking for people with technical and creative talent to come and help turn these early-stage ideas into real working prototypes ? all in just 48 hours. We?re looking for developers, designers and people who understand the problems we?re trying to solve. Where: Informatics Ventures Forum, 10 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian EH8 9AB When: 7pm, Friday 17th June to 4pm, Sunday 19th June 2011. Sign up here to get involved!

The survey contains questions on user group organization, events, demographics, and growth. There are some questions with numerical answers, and while your best guess is fine, you may find it helpful to gather some statistics on your user group membership before starting the survey (example statistics include the number of active members and the size and topics for recent user group events). We expect this survey to take around 30 minutes to complete. We appreciate your time and honesty in answering these questions. The PSF blog post announcing the survey: http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2011/06/tell-us-about-your-user-group.html The survey was written by Jessica McKellar (http://jesstess.com), organizer for the Boston Python Meetup (http://meetup.bostonpython.com), and Jesse Noller (http://jessenoller.com/), PSF board member and PyCon chair with input and feedback from survey specialists and others. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BWLG8SZ The survey was pretested with a handful of user group organizers, and their answers were phenomenal. Organizers have tons to say about these topics, and we hope to get a lot of great, actionable data for strengthening the relationship between the PSF and Python user groups out of this effort. Outreach, education, diversity and community building are critical for Python as a community, and the Foundation - this data should greatly assist in our targeting our resources and furthering the mission of the Foundation in all ways. Thank you The Python Software Foundation Jessica McKellar Jesse Noller -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
