OpenIDEO Community Based Renewable Energy Challenge Shout Out

Here's a shout out to something I got in my email to today. OpenIDEO (an opensourced innovation platform) has just started a new challenge to figure out how to rapidly help communities transition into renewable sources of energy. Anyone can create an account and contribute in whatever phases of development they like. Here is a trailer for how OpenIDEo works:
