"The RHoK events start with identifying, defining and refining
problems as presented by subject matter experts and local stakeholders.
From there, teams come together to develop open source solutions to
address these challenges. Participating with RHoK provides a chance to
be part of a global movement of technology for social good.
The impact of RHoK cannot be understated. In just two days,
developers and volunteers at a previous Toronto event worked together to
create a system to engage, promote, and improve First Nation and
Aboriginal access to water and sanitation in a project called
WaterVoices.
Expectations are high for Vancouver’s first RHoK event. As many as
eight non-profits will put forward projects that require technical
expertise, from initiatives aimed at ending poverty in Canada to
connecting women peace builders. The RHoK Vancouver event is working
with local talent who are donating their valuable skills and time, to
supporting some very worthy causes. There are still seats available, and
developers needed."

Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
