In the days leading up to ChangeCamp London we wanted to give the community and opportunity to brainstorm ideas, issues and areas of focus that could be used as discussion topics on Saturday June 19th, 2010. We know that Londoners are passionate about a variety of things and what better way to get people talking, thinking, and collaborating then by having them focus on things that are important to them.

So whether your passion lies in the important roles that arts & culture play in the city, the need for municipal governments to be more open, or the belief that London needs more roads and less green spaces, your ideas are the ones that are important and will ultimately fuel the discussions at ChangeCamp London.

We are looking for the community as a whole to suggest ideas and topics that could be focused on during ChangeCamp London. Developed and presented in the form of a short and concise question, your suggestions will be presented to the community to be voted on, commented on and for similar suggestions to be added.

You are able to submit your suggestions using a variety of services:

• Twitter - use the hash tag #ccldn
• Facebook - post a message to the ChangeCamp London Event Page
• Blog Comment - use the comments below this post to leave your ideas/suggestions
• Google Moderator - See below 

Google Moderator provides a handy little service to help organize thoughts and ideas from a variety of people. If you have something that is passionate to you and would like see discussed, you are welcome to suggest your idea (in the form of a question). Perhaps you have some addition thoughts to add to existing suggestions, something that it should include, you have the option to add those types of comments as well. Google Moderator allows for suggestions to be voted on, so if you believe there is a topic that is more important than others and that should be given attention above all others, feel free to add your endorsement with a '✓', or if you don't believe it to be important add an 'X' to the suggestion.

It is though your suggestions, comments and recommendations that topics for discussion will be formulated at ChangeCamp London.

Please remember to phrase your suggestion in the form of a question as this generally allows for more open input, input that is less bias and that foster's a greater sense of community, collaboration and conversation.

During the morning of ChangeCamp we will look at all suggested ideas, the comments they attracted and their popularity and then use this information to form and fuel our morning discussions, focused on some of the questions, ideas and suggestions that were identified by the community as important to London's future.  

We hope that we can get a broad spectrum of suggestions for topics to help make the conversations at ChangeCamp London as diverse as possible. If you want to attend ChangeCamp London and contribute but have yet to sign up there is still time.  Head over to changecamplondon.eventbrite.com and sign up for FREE. 

Stay tuned to this blog for information regarding Volunteering on Saturday June 19th, 2010. Although the ChangeCamp organizing team is hard at work and on the right track (we think) we can't do it all alone and will be looking to the community to help lend their support and contribution to see that the day is a complete success.
