I'm exhausted after a busy weekend and totally inspired by the people I just spent the weekend with!

We held the first [Social Innovation Sydney Startup Camp](http://www.socialinnovationsydney.org/2011/04/social-innovation-startup-camp-getting-things-started/?ref=katecarruthers.com) this weekend. It was great to see so many people willing to work together in an open and collaborative way on developing social innovation projects.

It really inspires me with hope for the future of our world to see people join together, starting as strangers, and collaborate on social innovation ideas so effectively.

There's a nice round-up of Startup Camp from [@lucyjjames](http://twitter.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com#!/lucyjjames) on her blog: [day 1](http://www.lucyjjames.com/2011/05/social-innovation-startup-camp/?ref=katecarruthers.com) and [day 2](http://www.lucyjjames.com/2011/05/social-innovation-startup-camp-day-two/?ref=katecarruthers.com); and a some feedback from the participants on [Social Innovation Sydney](http://www.socialinnovationsydney.org/2011/05/feedback-about-social-innovation-startup-camp-1/?ref=katecarruthers.com).
