PodCamp Barcelona Social Media Surgery!
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona, Programme, Workshops on August 7, 2010
One of the workshops at PodCamp Barcelona will be a social media surgery.
What is a social media surgery?
A social media surgery is a pretty informal gathering of people who want to learn how to use the web to communicate, campaign or collaborate. They are deliberately relaxed. You will get to sit alongside someone who understands good ways to use the internet and they'll show you useful free tools. If you like what you see they can also help you set up your blog, or facebook page or twitter account.
The social media surgery began in Birmingham, UK and is now spreading around the world.
How to participate?
There are two ways to participate in a surgery: as a surgeon/helper or as a learner
A surgeon/helper is someone who knows enough about using social media tools to help someone else. Some surgeons have spent years understanding the internet, others started learning a few months ago but want to share what they know with other community groups and active citizens. If you wish to participate as a surgeon please contact us
A learner is someone with questions which require practical answers.
When?
The social media surgery will take place from 18:00-20:00 on Thursday, September 16th
Where?
Els Vienesos, calle de la Segarra, 12, El Masnou
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.

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.
Announcing PodCamp Barcelona 2010
Posted by pbcn in #PBCN10, PodCamp Barcelona 2010 on June 21, 2010
Els Vienesos in El Masnou, home for PodCamp Barcelona 2010
PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will take place in El Masnou from September 13 to September 18th. Yes, that’s right, five days of PodCamp Barcelona — because this year we have a new venue, a new format and a theme: community.
PodCamp Barcelona has always been about community — in fact, the original idea of the event was to create a community out of the various people and projects using what could loosely be termed “web 2.0″. But this year, the theme is going to be more explicit and for this reason we have decided to change the format.
So what’s going to happen in El Masnou from September 13 to September 18?
From Monday, September 13 to Thursday, September 16 there will be workshops every evening. The idea of these workshops is to give back to the people of Masnou through our knowledge. If you want to run a workshop at PodCamp Barcelona, please contact us.
Friday and Saturday will be different however. Friday evening will see two sessions and a wine tasting. Saturday will have four sessions in the morning and after lunch, a sobremesa where each table will be able to discuss, provide ideas and conclusions about each of the six community sessions. The idea is to get everybody to participate whether they are presenting or not, and to crowd source ideas to further develop the six communities presented. Of course, there will be another winetasting after the sobremesa session, and possibly a concert by musicians who use social media in their work. If you wish to lead a community session please contact us.
The conclusions from the community sessions will be filmed and put on the TalkingAbout platform where the debate can continue.
There will also be a Speaker’s Corner where anybody will be able to present any project they want. The presentations at Speaker’s Corner will also be filmed and posted online. If you want to present in Speaker’s Corner please contact us.
All of this will take place as in a brand new building in El Masnou, Els Vienesos, gracias once again to the fantastic participation of El Masnou council in PodCamp Barcelona.
We hope that PodCamp Barcelona 2010 will enable more people to participate in the debate and lead to practical conclusions for ongoing community activity.
Oh yes, and one more thing: this year there are two new members in the PodCamp Barcelona team – welcome aboard @pdavenne and @moof
Bring it on!
