OK all you SL script kiddies, hackers, builders, goons, and event managers, now is your chance to do something good with your skillz. Jennifer Schlegel with TechSoup.org passed along this announcement to us — a call for projects on using tech for social good. There are already a few SL projects in the mix. Note that the deadline is coming fast: April 6.

Pitch Your Cool Tech Projects for Social Good @ TechSoup’s Net2 Year2 Conference

NetSquared Year Two (N2Y2) is set for May 29 & 30 in San Jose, and we’re looking for talented, engaged developers, hackers, nonprofits, etc. to propose cool new tech projects for social good. Submit project nominations to <http://www.netsquared.org/projects/nominate> by midnight PST on April 6th. 20 projects will have a chance to compete for cash from the NetSquared Innovation Fund.

Project representatives will make their pitches to developers, funders, helpers, thinkers and disseminators. Every project should receive a big boost in much needed resources, and a few will get a nice dollop of cash on top of it, which will be awarded at the conference by community vote. View nominated projects here: <http://www.netsquared.org/projects/project-proposals/latest-projects>and be sure to join the online community vote beginning on April 9th.
