There are a few ways that you can get involved to make the iSummit '08 a success. The easiest way to do this would be to become a 'Friend of the iSummit' by getting the word out about the event. You can download or grab the embed codes of buttons and badges for your websites and blogs here.

We encourage you to participate in the iSummit programme development by signing up to the lab mailing lists, which will be used to coordinate between participants of the lab and to introduce lab participants to one another, to develop specific goals for the overarching labs and to discuss next steps after the iSummit.

We are also looking for volunteers to translate content from English to Japanese, as well as videographers, writers and podcasters to help document the event. If you are skilled in the media creation or translation fields, and would be willing to help us, email daniela 'at' icommons 'dot' org, with a brief description of how you can assist.

If you are familiar with Second Life, we are looking for suggestions of projects, artists and musicians who are doing work related to Free Culture and digital innovation that can be featured at the iSummit in Second Life. If you have any suggestion, any ideas to share or are interested in helping to organise the event in Second Life, please email anna 'at' icommons 'dot' org or IM Anna Annenberg in-world.

If you arrive in Sapporo a day ahead of the iSummit (that is Day 0, 29 July) we are looking for volunteers to help us fold iCommons Annuals (yes, this year they will be folded, but don't ask too many questions about this - it's a surprise!) and to pack goodie bags for all the iSummit participants. If you are available please email rebecca 'at' icommons 'dot' org to let her know, and she will pass on all further details.

And lastly, if you are financially able, you could also help sponsor another commoner to travel to the event. E-mail heather 'at' icommons 'dot' org with your pledge, or if you'd like to be involved in fundraising for the event in general, email stephanie 'at' icommons 'dot' org.
