How Can I Help?

Keep in touch and be informed

Let people know about the Program for the Future Challenge.
If you know of a great collective intelligence tool in some domain, nominate it for the Challenge or encourage its creators to submit it themselves to the Challenge.
Propose a problem in a field of interest that is ripe for a collective intelligence tool to facilitate it.
Look at existing projects and add comments, suggestions.
If you have created a tool yourself, propose it for the challenge!
If you have proposed a tool, recruit people for your team. Post a help wanted notice.
Join an existing demo team to add your expertise (e.g. programming or other technical skills, non-technical skills such as domain knowledge, use case testing, demo design, etc.). Look at the Help Wanted notices.

Help with fundraising for prizes and next year's conference.
Sponsor a prize.
Support the development of software tools to improve collective intelligence through, e.g., Google's Summer of Code, hackathons, sprints, Super Happy Dev Houses, etc.

Nominate someone to serve on the Program for the Future advisory board, or as a judge for the challenge.
