Graz Metblogs » grenz http://graz.metblogs.com Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:54:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en This week: PolitCamp 2008! http://graz.metblogs.com/2008/05/26/this-week-politkcamp-2008/ http://graz.metblogs.com/2008/05/26/this-week-politkcamp-2008/#comments Mon, 26 May 2008 12:48:16 +0000 grenz http://graz.metblogs.com/2008/05/26/this-week-politkcamp-2008/ BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.
By “open-sourcing” the organizational process (=codifying it in a wiki and making that publicly available), BarCamp seems to have struck a chord. It quickly became a model for user generated conferences in other fields or for more specialized applications, ranging from WordCamp and PodCamp to Seattle Mind Camp, to name a few.

And Graz will feature the first PolitCamp… this week!

PolitiCamp will be a great opportunity to talk about the political dimensions of new communication infrastructures and to meet influential Austrian minds.

Don’t forget to check it out!
