e-Criterium at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Speakers Corner on August 7, 2010
e-Criterium will do a lightning talk in the Speaker's Corner at PodCamp Barcelona where they will speak about:
Citizen participation to improve the health system, e-Criterium is an idea in action where we all win.
A meeting place for collaboration and exchange, to share collective knowledge of citizens through their opinions made available to everybody: health and other professionals, patients, users, managers, institutions, organisations and participation institutions, such as health councils.
We wish to highlight what is working well, modify what works badly and change what works.
e-Criterium in 4 easy steps
1. Write the history from my role as patient, user, companion, healthcare/other professional, and citizen.
2. Define its subject: opinion, gratitude, complaint, congratulation, suggestion, idea, experience, observation.
3. Write the keywords.
4. Accept the conditions
e-Criterium opens communication and collaboration channels between individuals, citizens, collectives, representative organs and organisations, and institutions, the management institutions of the health system.
e-Criterium was born in Catalonia but is internationally oriented, and we are already working with our colleagues in England, where the website Patient Opinion has been running for three years. And we want to keep on adding… this is only the beginning.

Josep Jordana at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Speakers Corner on August 7, 2010
Josep Jordana will explain, "What is Pirene Lab" in 8 minutes in the Speaker's Corner at PodCamp Barcelona.
What is Pirene Lab?
A Living Lab. A space for digital and social innovation based on design thinking and user centred creation in the context of a mountain region. A mixture between a training centre, an investigation centre and an incubator for business and social initiatives.
Mountain regions require their own solutions, and not just technological ones. Broadband Internet connection arrived in many the villages of the Pyrenees just a year ago. It is low quality, expensive and there are still "holes". Open and distributed models, as opposed to centralised models, are not just an option but a necessity.
The Internet of things, devices and sensors, one of the next evolutions of Internet requires a special interpretation in mountain regions, small agricultural operations with animals, the importance of the atmospheric temperature, land management and cultural patrimony etc
Ecosystem and sustainability, fashionable terms these days, are a historical reality in these zones. The urban and the rural have much to share and exchange.

Kfé Innovación special at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Workshops on August 3, 2010
The second of the workshops programmed during PodCamp Barcelona is the Kfé Innovación/Innovation Café which will take place on September 14 in the cafe La Tarte du Jour (C/ Torrent Vallmora, 16, El Masnou) from 18:00-20:00.
Here's the post that the innovation cafe folks have written about it:
In the special PodCamp Barcelona Kfé Innovación we've decided to give another twist to our format. The idea that we've developed in Kfé Innovación Seville (one expert, 10 participants, thousands of ideas) will be taken to the extreme to create a "list of concerns and recommendations" arising from the "most difficult questions of the summer". Let's explain…
In the next few days Kfé Innovación and PodCamp Barcelona will launch a series of questions in social networks, with the objective of discovering general "concerns" with respect to the Internet (innovation, businesses, institutions etc.). This is what we mean by "the most difficult questions of the summer".
What will we do with the answers? Participants of PodCamp Barcelona will get together on Tuesday, 14th of September in a debate about your opinions and suggestions. The aim is to develop a summary of your contributions.
The questions are the following:
1. What is innovation? #KFEPC1
2. What is the possibility that Internet will provoke a real social change within five years? 0=none, 10=every (you can include comments) #KFEPC2
3. Which sector or institution needs to urgently change to incorporate the "2.0 philosophy"? #KFCPC3
4. An example of best practice in education. #KFEPC4
5. An example of best practice in public administration. #KFEPC5
6. An example of best practice in business. #KFEPC6
7. An example of best practice and citizen participation. #KFEPC7
Each question has an associated #. Opinions will be channelled (always using the corresponding #, please) in the following ways:
– Twitter. Please, don't forget the #
– As a comment on this post. You can answer all the questions in the same comment if you want. Please put the corresponding # at the beginning of each answer.
– By leaving a comment on our Facebook fan page.
– On the PodCamp Barcelona website, as a comment on the post (same format as above, with the corresponding #).
We remind everybody that the special Kfé Innovación session will be on Tuesday 14th of September at 1800 in El Masnou. If you can't attend you'll be able to follow the session on Twitter with #KFEPC or via streaming on the PodCamp Barcelona website.
(NB this event has no intention of being thought of as representative of the opinion of society. It's not a survey. The idea is simply to open the debate which will take place in the Kfé Innovación session at PodCamp Barcelona 2010).
Scratch Català at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme, Workshops on August 1, 2010
The first workshop in PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will be: Scratch programming workshop for kids from 8-99
The workshop, led by Eugeni Català from Scratch Català, will take place from 18:00 to 20:00 on September 13 at Els Viensos.
What is Scratch?
Scratch is a fun visual programming language created by people at MIT and focused on youngsters from 8-99. With it you can create interactive stories, animation, games, music, art. Your imagination is the only limit.
The main character is the cat Scratch, but it is possible to use other existing figures or create new ones to use in the projects.
"Construction blocks" are arranged by type and colour to make it easy to follow the programme and have to be placed in the corresponding space for the cat to do what is desired on the stage.
Once the programme has been made it can be posted to the MIT website so everybody can see and enjoy it — you'll be surprised by the number of people who'll be interested in your project. There are more than 1,209,000 projects which can be learned from as all our public and can be downloaded to see how they were created without any type of limitation, everybody shares their work and the community learns together.
It really teaches knowledge and experience sharing in an open and collaborative way.
How does programming help kids education?
Programming helps in the acquisition and improvement of mathematical concepts such as coordinates, variables and random numbers as well as comparisons and conditions. It also stimulates creative expression, logical thinking and the use of new technologies. This knowledge will open the door to future professions.
Many schools are incorporating this discipline in their curriculums, thereby achieving the development and improvement in the process of design and creation. Kids begin with an idea, create a prototype, experiment with it, evaluate what doesn't work well, look for collaboration with others to finally revise and redesign.

Platoniq at PodCamp Barcelona!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, PodCamp Barcelona 2010, Programme on July 13, 2010
Olivier Schulbaum & Susana Noquera of Platoniq will present Goteo at PodCamp Barcelona:
In PodCamp we will be talking about the project Goteo, a social network to collect funding through P2P micro-donations and micro-credits. These resources will be allocated to the prototyping of projects of high social innovation through digital technologies.
At the moment we are concentrating on the design of the legal structure where the rights and obligations of both donors and recipients of the micro-financing are clear for everybody. For example it will be possible to select the type of user license and the form of return to the community, be it in source code and documentation, in training or physical products in the case of projects of open hardware or open craft.
Goteo is for entrepreneurs, creators of digital culture, ICT developers, as well as non-profits that are looking for solutions and new ideas for their community. Through this platform we can connect benefactors (citizens and organizations, public or private, that support social innovation by means of donations), communities that want to reinvent their strategies, cultural and social entrepreneurs with good ideas and the capacity to carry them out and groups of programmers looking for new challenges.
