An Example of Geeks for Good
By Nick Hodge | October 30, 2007
Last week South Australia celebrated Water Week. As a previous resident in the driest state on the driest continent, water and water conservation was drilled into us from a young age. The current water restrictions in many states pale into insignificance compared to living on a farm with limited water supplies.
Geeks for Good is a thought-seed planted by Cameron Reilly on G’Day world 299, and his subsequent call-out to the Podcasting world at podcampperth.
Two previous school associates, Dr Paul Dalby and Chris Hobart — along with a former work colleague, Mike Seyfang; have taken the power of the internet, borrowed an idea from WebJam and created Water PitchFest.
