\"cparty\"<\/a>S\u00e3o Paulo became a meeting place for geeks, cyberactivists and Internet addicts last month, during the Brazilian round of the Campus Party. The technology, digital culture and LAN party<\/a> event took place from 25 to 31 January 2010.<\/p>\n

CampusPartyMT<\/em><\/a> [pt] was among the blogs covering the event. They have published some photos of Campus Party 2010<\/a>:<\/p>\n

According to official statistics there were more than 90,000 visitors over the week. Ana Maria Modesto, one of those who attended the event, shares her experience on the Notas de Rodap\u00e9<\/em><\/a> [pt] blog:<\/p>\n

O barato de tudo isso \u00e9 o contato feito com os palestrantes e as palestras , que em muito me enriqueceram, o aprendizado no campus blog.Ainda mais quando se ouve ao vivo, grandes nomes das m\u00eddias sociais, participantes da bibliografia do meu projeto de pesquisa em Ci\u00eancias Sociais, sobre o impacto da Social Media na sociedade brasileira. Ouv\u00ed-los e ser ouvido e respondido por eles foi demais.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The coolest things were networking with the lecturers, and the lectures themselves, which I found really illuminating, including the CampusBlog one. It\u2019s even better when you can listen to the big names in social media live. These people featured in the bibliography of my Social Sciences research project on the impact of Social Media in Brazilian society. Being able to listen to them, and for them to listen to me in turn and respond to my questions was awesome.<\/div>\n

On the other hand, the blogger at Mondo Cubano<\/em><\/a> [pt] criticized this year's event, which she found lukewarm<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Tirando poucas a\u00e7\u00f5es relevantes e bem feitas, a #Cparty virou uma grande lan house de promo\u00e7\u00f5es bizarras. As empresas caem l\u00e1 sem ter a menor no\u00e7\u00e3o de como agradar o grande p\u00fablico e fazem a\u00e7\u00f5es est\u00fapidas. […]<\/p>\n

Entendo que \u00e9 uma grande arena para a\u00e7\u00f5es de marketing, e sinceramente at\u00e9 acho que se bem feitas elas tamb\u00e9m poderiam agregar valor \u00e0 #Cparty. Mas o cerne do evento: a pesquisa, a troca de conhecimento, de experi\u00eancia e o networking foi massacrado por adesivos, camisetas e panfletagem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Apart from a few relevant and well-executed ideas, #cparty has just become a massive lan house full of bizarre promotions. Companies descend on it without having the slightest notion of how to please the general public, and they just provide gimmicks […]<\/p>\n

I appreciate that this is a great arena for marketing, and I honestly believe that if it were done well these companies could also add value to #cparty. But the heart and soul of the event, research, the exchange of knowledge, experience and networking, were massacred by a deluge of stickers, T-shirts and leaflets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The fun is not over yet. Fernanda Nogueira<\/em> blogs about the Campus Party Experience<\/a> [pt] an itinerant version of the event which will visit more than 100 Brazilian cities over the first half of the year. For a week, a bus and tent with up to 150 computers will allow the local population to have first-hand experience of technology and the web, and will encourage debate about technology and digital culture.<\/p>\n

Apesar de terem algumas cidades em mente, a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o pensa em criar um processo de candidatura, onde assim como nas Olimpiadas, a pr\u00f3pria popula\u00e7\u00e3o defenda a realiza\u00e7\u00e3o do evento na sua cidade.Al\u00e9m disso, cada cidade dever\u00e1 criar tamb\u00e9m um comit\u00ea gestor que ficar\u00e1 respons\u00e1vel pela a cess\u00e3o do local de realiza\u00e7\u00e3o do evento, todo o desembara\u00e7o burocr\u00e1tico (licen\u00e7as, alvar\u00e1s, etc), garantia de visita\u00e7\u00e3o por parte de estudantes e grupos de exclu\u00eddos (camponeses, idosos, portadores de defici\u00eancia,etc) e manuten\u00e7\u00e3o de um telecentro focado em inclus\u00e3o 1.0 (promo\u00e7\u00e3o do primeiro contato com o computador) e 2.0 (promo\u00e7\u00e3o do uso de servi\u00e7os web e de publica\u00e7\u00e3o de conte\u00fados em blogs, fotologs, videologs e redes sociais).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Although they have some cities in mind, the organization committee intends to open the event up to an application process similar to that of Olympics, whereby people will have to argue the case for holding the event in their city.<\/p>\n

In addition, each city will create a steering committee responsible for providing a venue for the event, dealing with all matters of bureaucratic clearance (permits, licenses, etc.), guaranteeing that it is open to students and marginalized groups (peasants, the elderly, people with disabilities, etc.) and maintaining a \u201ctelecenters\u201d focused on digital inclusion 1.0 (promoting first contact with computers) and 2.0 (promoting the use of web services and content publishing through blogs, photo blogs, vlogs and social networks).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
