Each one of the 3 finalists has created a visually compelling and thematically powerful slideshare presentation.Two of the presentations are on the Water crisis and the Zimbabwe crisis.

I am busy with planning out Dcamp 2.0, the second edition of the Dcamp unconference series. After last year’s rather fun experience of organizing Dcamp 1.0 at the Yahoo campus in Bangalore, I’m looking forward to seeing newer topics and perspectives this year.
