I'd like to introduce something that seems very much in the spirit of Construct Zero: the Mozilla Service Week which begins 14th September and ends 21st September.
From the FAQ (http://mozillaservice.org/learn_more/faq/en_US):
What is Mozilla Service Week?
Mozilla Service Week is a week-long event during which we are asking individuals to step up and make a difference by using the Web to better their community. Mozilla Service Week is based on the belief that everyone should know how to use the Internet, have easy access to it, and have a good experience when they're online. By utilizing our community's generosity and talents for writing, designing, programming, developing, and all-around technical and Internet know-how, we believe we can make the Web a better place for everyone.
I'd really like to help and make a difference, but I don't have many technical skills. What can I do?
The Internet makes people's lives better in the largest but also in the smallest of ways. You don't have to code or design – we know you have lots of skills that could help people. For example, you could show someone how to use Skype, how to shop online, how to register for a webmail account, or get email on their phone. All of these things might seem small, but they could make a big difference in someone's online world. Every action counts!

Why not get involved? Or pass the link on to someone whom you think might like to get involved?
Thanks.
