Social Actions' Change The Web Challenge in Oxford

Social Actions has created an open database of 60,000+ actions from 40+ sites -- including GlobalGiving, Change.org, DonorsChoose.org, Kiva.org, NABUUR, TakingITGlobal, Idealist.org, and VolunteerMatch. Through a search engine, Open Actions XML micro-format, an open API, and third-party tools and widgets, you can find and share ways to get involved in the causes you care about.

Social Actions' Change the Web Challenge is about building innovative tools to help people find and share opportunities to take action on the websites, blogs, and social networks that we all visit everyday. Next time inspiration strikes you to make a difference, the opportunities to take action will be but one click away.

Agenda:

* Peter Deitz, founder of Social Actions, will present his vision for an open philanthropic web
* Romina Oliverio will explain how you can help the Change The Web Challenge
* Learn about the Open Actions XML micro format, and how you can use it
* Test-drive submitted applications to the Change The Web Challenge
* Hack away on existing or new widgets, tools, and mashups
* Brainstorm opportunities for online campaigners

This afternoon's event is free to attend
Please RSVP

Peter Deitz, Romina Oliverio, Rolf Kleef, Amy Sample Ward

PS: Perfect for early arrivals to the Ecampaigning Forum, or those in Oxford, or around London after BarCampLondon

Thanks Rolf. Of course, I would have done it myself if Ning weren't so fussy over who can edit whose events. Thanks for taking the time. I'm looking forward to the event!

Changed the pic, Peter! Grooming an online event (incl. finding a suitable picture) actually takes more time than I expected :-)

Hi Rolf, Thanks for posting this event. Looks great. Quick favor: can you substitute in a picture of Oxford for the event pic? Thanks, Peter
