The Do Network will comprise a series of four 90-day contest cycles, with different themes and thematic challenges introduced for each cycle. The first cycle will be based on the theme of "Innovation through Technology" and will run from now till March 7, 2012. Interested participants can submit their project ideas at http://donetwork.lenovo.com.
