<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#696969">Tal vez sea por la &eacute;poca del a&ntilde;o pero, &uacute;ltimamente, ha habido un gran inter&eacute;s por si se organizar&aacute; o no PodCamp Barcelona 2011.</font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">A continuaci&oacute;n nuestras reflexiones:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); "><a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2009/09/12/podcamp-barcelona-2008/">PodCamp Barcelona 2008</a> se organiz&oacute;, sobre todo, porque hac&iacute;amos podcasting y pens&aacute;bamos que ser&iacute;a muy interesante ir a un evento relacionado con ese tema. Al no encontrar ninguno lo suficientemente cerca como para poder ir, decidimos organizar uno nosotros. En ese momento hab&iacute;a muy pocos eventos en torno a los llamados &quot;nuevos medios&quot;, &quot;web 2.0&quot; o &quot;medios sociales&quot; pero ahora hay un mont&oacute;n de ellos.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Hay una tendencia a hacer eventos &quot;Porque toca&quot; y es algo con lo que estamos profundamente en desacuerdo. Organizar eventos con <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2010/08/25/kapow-it’s-the-cataspanglish-summer-special-pt-2in-the-city/">el mismo formato</a> y con los mismos temas una vez m&aacute;s, no le vemos el sentido. Teniendo en cuenta lo sucedido en las #acampadas, las ocupaciones y la reutilizaci&oacute;n del espacio p&uacute;blico en Espa&ntilde;a y otros lugares durante este a&ntilde;o, creemos que un PodCamp es bastante redundante.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Reconocemos que los eventos son importantes para las comunidades y uno de los objetivos iniciales de PodCamp Barcelona (junto con el Barcelona Social Media Caf&eacute;) era crear comunidad. Sin embargo, con el uso extendido del social media y las herramientas &quot;web 2.0&quot;, la gente se ha centrado en comunidades espec&iacute;ficas como periodismo, gastronom&iacute;a y vino, open data, open gov, marketing, &nbsp;etc.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Estamos orgullosos que cada PodCamp Barcelona ha sido diferente. Hubiese sido f&aacute;cil y sinceramente aburrido, repetir el mismo evento cada a&ntilde;o, pero tuvimos la suerte que la comunidad estaba inspirada y a&ntilde;adi&oacute; ideas y acciones, por ejemplo la contribuci&oacute;n espont&aacute;nea de <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/moof">@Moof</a> &nbsp;con <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pbcntweetlation">@PBCNTweetlation</a> en el 2009 y su posterior desarrollo en 2010 por @Moof y <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pdavenne">@pdavenne</a> es un brillante ejemplo que dio una nueva dimensi&oacute;n. En la &uacute;ltima edici&oacute;n hubo menos presentaciones y como novedad se organizaron talleres durante una semana, &nbsp;creando espacios para proyectos como el <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2011/03/15/kfe-innovacion-kfe03-city-projects/">nuevo enfoque de Kf&eacute; Innovaci&oacute;n</a> que se est&aacute; extendiendo por <a href="http://www.kfeinnovacion.com/category/cuadro-de-sedes/">todo el mundo</a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Adem&aacute;s ya no vivimos en Barcelona ni cerca de ella. Andamos por el norte de Europa: nueva vida y nuevos proyectos. &iquest;Significa esto que nunca vamos a organizar otro PodCamp Barcelona? No lo sabemos. &iquest;Significa que no vamos organizar nada m&aacute;s en Barcelona? Pensamos que s&iacute;. Pero no vamos a organizar PodCamp Barcelona 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">As&iacute; que gracias a todos los que hab&eacute;is preguntado, y gracias a todo el mundo que ha participado en PodCamp Barcelona desde 2008. Son los participantes que hacen que cualquier evento sea un &eacute;xito y si la gente ha estado preguntando acerca de PodCamp Barcelona 2011, entonces parece que s&iacute; ha sido un &eacute;xito <img src='http://cataspanglish.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">A continuaci&oacute; les nostres reflexions:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); "><a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2009/09/12/podcamp-barcelona-2008/">PodCamp Barcelona 2008</a> es va organitzar, sobretot, perqu&egrave; f&egrave;iem podcasting i pens&agrave;vem que seria molt interessant anar a un esdeveniment relacionat amb aquest tema. Al no trobar cap a prop com per poder anar-hi, vam decidir organitzar un nosaltres. En aqueix moment hi havia molt pocs esdeveniments entorn dels anomenats &quot;nous mitjans&quot;, &quot;web 2.0&quot; o &quot;mitjans socials&quot; per&ograve; ara hi ha un munt.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Hi ha una tend&egrave;ncia a fer esdeveniments &quot;Perqu&egrave; toca&quot; i &eacute;s una cosa amb el que estem profundament en desacord. Organitzar esdeveniments amb <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2010/08/25/kapow-it’s-the-cataspanglish-summer-special-pt-2in-the-city/">el mateix format</a> i amb els mateixos temes una vegada m&eacute;s, no li veiem el sentit. Tenint en compte el succe&iuml;t a les #acampades, les ocupacions i la reutilitzaci&oacute; de l&#39;espai p&uacute;blic a Espanya i altres llocs durant aquest any, creiem que un PodCamp &eacute;s bastant redundant.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Reconeixem que les trobades s&oacute;n importants per a les comunitats i un dels objectius inicials de PodCamp Barcelona (juntament amb el Barcelona Social Media Caf&egrave;) era crear comunitat. No obstant, amb l&#39;&uacute;s est&egrave;s del social media i les eines &quot;web 2.0&quot;, la gent s&#39;ha centrat en comunitats espec&iacute;fiques com periodisme, gastronomia i vi, open data, open gov, marqueting, etc.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Estem orgullosos que cada PodCamp Barcelona ha estat diferent. Hagu&eacute;s estat f&agrave;cil i sincerament avorrit, repetir el mateix esdeveniment cada any, per&ograve; vam tenir la sort que la comunitat estava inspirada i va afegir idees i accions, per exemple la contribuci&oacute; espont&agrave;nia de <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/moof">@Moof</a> amb <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pbcntweetlation">@PBCNTweetlation</a> al 2009 i el seu posterior desenvolupament al 2010 per @Moof i <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pdavenne">@pdavenne</a> &eacute;s un brillant exemple que va donar una nova dimensi&oacute;. A l&#39;&uacute;ltima edici&oacute; va haver-hi menys presentacions i com a novetat es van organitzar tallers durant una setmana, creant espais per a projectes com el <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2011/03/15/kfe-innovacion-kfe03-city-projects/">nou enfocament de Kf&eacute; Innovaci&oacute;n</a> que s&#39;est&agrave; estenent per <a href="http://www.kfeinnovacion.com/category/cuadro-de-sedes/">tot el m&oacute;n</a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">A m&eacute;s ja no vivim a Barcelona ni prop d&#39;ella. Caminem pel nord d&#39;Europa: nova vida i nous projectes. Significa aix&ograve; que mai organitzarem un altre PodCamp Barcelona? No ho sabem. Significa que no organitzarem res m&eacute;s a Barcelona? Pensem que s&iacute;. Per&ograve; no organitzarem un PodCamp Barcelona 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(105, 105, 105); ">Aix&iacute; que gr&agrave;cies a tots els que heu preguntat, i gr&agrave;cies a tothom que ha participat a PodCamp Barcelona des del 2008. S&oacute;n els participants que fan que qualsevol esdeveniment sigui un &egrave;xit i si la gent ha estat preguntant sobre PodCamp Barcelona 2011, sembla que s&iacute; ha estat un &egrave;xit <img src='http://cataspanglish.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#ff8c00;"><strong>[en]</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">Maybe it&#39;s just the time of the year, but there&#39;s been a lot of interest recently in whether there will be a PodCamp Barcelona 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">So here&#39;s our thoughts on the subject:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">When we began <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2009/09/12/podcamp-barcelona-2008/">PodCamp Barcelona in 2008</a> it was primarily because we were doing podcasting and thought it would be really interesting to go to such an event. As we couldn&#39;t find any close enough to get to, we decided to do it ourselves. At that time there were very few events around the so-called &quot;new media&quot;, &quot;web 2.0&quot; or &quot;social media&quot; but now there are plenty of them.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">There is a tendancy to do events &quot;porque toca&quot; (because it&#39;s now a ritual) which is something we profoundly disagree with. If there&#39;s nothing new or interesting to do or say, if it just the <a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2010/08/25/kapow-it’s-the-cataspanglish-summer-special-pt-2in-the-city/">same format</a> and speakers refritos we don&#39;t see the point. In the light of the #acampadas, the occupations and reuse of public space in Spain and other places this year, we feel that a PodCamp is pretty redundant.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">We recognise that events are important to communities and one of the initial aims of PodCamp Barcelona (along with the Barcelona Social Media Caf&eacute;) was to create community. However as the use of social media and &quot;web 2.0&quot; tools has spread, peeps have become more focussed on specific communities such as journalists, food &amp; wine, open data, open gov, marketing etc.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">That each PodCamp Barcelona was different is something we are proud of. It would have been easy, and frankly boring, to repeat the same event every year &#8211; but we were lucky that peeps were inspired and added considerably to the mix. The&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">spontaneous contribution by</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/moof"> @Moof</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "> of&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/pbcntweetlation">@PBCNTweetlation</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "> in 2009 and the subsequent development of it in 2010 by @Moof and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/pdavenne">@pdavenne</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "> is a brilliant example which gave a new dimension. Last year we added workshops and cut down on presentations which led in part to the development of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "><a href="http://cataspanglish.com/2011/03/15/kfe-innovacion-kfe03-city-projects/">a new iteration of Kf&eacute; Innovaci&oacute;n</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "> which is now </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; "><a href="http://www.kfeinnovacion.com/category/cuadro-de-sedes/">spreading around the world</a>.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">The other thing is that we no longer live in or near to Barcelona. Right now we&#39;re off in northern Europe sorting out our next destination. Does this mean we&#39;ll never do another PodCamp Barcelona? We don&#39;t know. Does it mean we&#39;ll never do anything else in Barcelona? We doubt that. But we won&#39;t be doing PodCamp Barcelona 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#696969;">So thanks to everybody who has been asking, and thanks to everyone who has participated in PodCamp Barcelona since 2008. It&#39;s the participants who make any event a success and if people have been asking about PodCamp Barcelona 2011, then we think we can qualify it as that <img src='http://cataspanglish.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>

<p><span style="background-color: yellow;"><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">Well it&#39;s hot and sticky in Barcelona &amp; while the country is closed, we&#39;re busy preparing PodCamp Barcelona 2010 &#8211; the post below is cross-posted from the PodCamp Barcelona site:<br />
	</span></big></span></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>PodCamp Barcelona 2010</strong> will take place in <strong>El Masnou</strong> from <strong>September 13 to September 18th</strong>. Yes, that&#39;s right, <strong>five days</strong> of PodCamp Barcelona&nbsp; &#8212; because this year we have a new venue, a new format and a theme: <strong>community</strong>. PodCamp Barcelona has always been about community &#8212; 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 &quot;web 2.0&quot;. But this year, the theme is going to be more explicit and for this reason we have decided to change the format.<br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">So what&#39;s going to happen in El Masnou from September 13 to September 18? <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">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. <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">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 <strong><a href="http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=sobremesa"><em>sobremesa</em></a></strong> 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. <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">The conclusions from the community sessions will be filmed and put on the <a href="http://talkingabout.eu/">TalkingAbout</a> platform where the debate can continue. <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">There will also be a <strong>Speaker&#39;s Corner</strong> where anybody will be able to present any project they want. The presentations at Speaker&#39;s Corner will also be filmed and posted online. If you want to present in Speaker&#39;s Corner please contact us. <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">All of this will take place as in a brand new building in El Masnou, <strong>Els Vienesos</strong>, gracias once again to the fantastic participation of <a href="http://www.elmasnou.cat/document.php?id=3980&amp;idioma=en">El Masnou council</a> 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. <br />
	</span></big></p>
<p><big><span style="font-size: 14px;">Oh yes, and one more thing: this year there are two new members in the PodCamp Barcelona team &#8211; welcome aboard <a href="http://twitter.com/pdavenne">@pdavenne</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/moof">@moof</a> Bring it on!</span></big></p>

<p>So it&#39;s pretty late and I&#39;m thinking and watching the world go by on twitter and for some reason PodCamp Barcelona comes to mind. And I&#39;ve got this idea that all of these incredibly talented, smart, creative, knowledgeable people coming together and sharing is great and that we are <a href="http://09m.podcampbarcelona.org/">creating knowledge</a> and social value with our peers, but it occurs to me that we should take it further. We still have to take an &quot;official&quot; decision about PodCamp Barcelona 2010, but as Cataspanglish we know we want to hold it in El Masnou. So what I&#39;m thinking is that we should give back to the citizens of Masnou who have supported the PodCamp for two years. If all the people who participate in PodCamp are willing I would like to do some concrete things leading up the event itself, <a href="http://podnosh.com/blog/2009/05/31/birmingham-social-media-surgeries-taking-stock/">Birmingham style Social Media Surgeries</a>, Podcasting workshops, mashup sessions, whatever. Let&#39;s share the knowledge and skills we have with the people who are giving us the opportunity to get together &#8211; what do you think? Are you in for giving back?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">We were doing the <a href="http://slowspain.wordpress.com/">slow spain podcast</a> and working on <a href="http://slowspain.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/montse-guitar-sessions/">Montse Guitar Sessions</a> and wanted to attend a <a href="http://podcamp.pbworks.com/">PodCamp</a>. As there wasn&#39;t one in Spain we decided to hold one one ourselves and so PodCamp Barcelona, the first PodCamp in the south of Europe, as well as the first trilingual PodCamp anywhere was born. After contacting various spaces to hold the event under the right conditions (free entry, free wifi), our peep <a href="http://twitter.com/el_villano/">Alex</a> suggested we approach the council of <a href="http://www.elmasnou.cat/document.php?id=3980&amp;idioma=en">El Masnou</a>. Fortunately they saw potential in the project and we developed it with them, working alongside the Councillor for New Technologies <a href="http://ernestosune.wordpress.com/">Ernest Su&ntilde;&eacute;</a> and his team. The response was fantastic, both from the local emerging social media scene as well as internationally known podcasters &amp; bloggers. PodCamp Barcelona took place the weekend of September 26-28, 2008 in El Masnou, Barcelona. <br />

Despu&eacute;s de contactar con diversas entidades buscando un lugar que cumpliera con unos requisitos m&iacute;nimos (entrada y wifi gratis), nuestro amigo <a href="http://twitter.com/el_villano/">Alex</a> nos sugiri&oacute; contactar con el Ayuntamiento de El Masnou.

<p>I met <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Bauwens">Michel Bauwens</a>, the founder of the <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/">P2P Foundation</a>, at <a href="http://www.urbanlabs.net/">UrbanLabs</a> which took place at <a href="http://en.citilab.eu/home">Citilab</a> in Cornellà, Barcelona. He kindly agreed to record an interview for the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=297683882">PodCamp Barcelona Podcast</a>, but due to his hectic schedule it was impossible to do until recently. I finally caught up with Michel when he was in Amsterdam and we recorded this conversation over Skype from his hotel room. I think the recording provides a very good introduction to the work of the P2P Foundation and Michel&#8217;s vision.</p>

<p><strong>About the P2P Foundation</strong> (from the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">P2P Foundation wiki</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We function as a clearinghouse for open/free, participatory/p2p and commons-oriented initiatives.</strong></p>
<p>We aim to be a pluralist network to document, research, and promote peer to peer alternatives. Our political aims could be summarized under the following maxims:</p>
<ol>
<li>ending the destruction of the biosphere by abandoning the dangerous conceptions of pseudo-abundance in the natural world (i.e. based on the assumption that natural resources are infinite);</li>
<li>promoting free cultural exchange by abandoning the innovation-inhibiting conceptions of pseudo-scarcity in the cultural world (i.e. based on the assumption that the free flow of culture needs to be restricted through excessive copyrights etc&#8230;).</li>

		<itunes:summary>I met Michel Bauwens, the founder of the P2P Foundation, at UrbanLabs which took place at Citilab in Cornellà, Barcelona. He kindly agreed to record an interview for the PodCamp Barcelona Podcast, but due to his hectic schedule it was impossible to do until recently. I finally caught up with Michel when he was in Amsterdam and we recorded this conversation over Skype from his hotel room. I think the recording provides a very good introduction to the work of the P2P Foundation and Michel&#039;s vision.




About the P2P Foundation (from the P2P Foundation wiki)
We function as a clearinghouse for open/free, participatory/p2p and commons-oriented initiatives.

We aim to be a pluralist network to document, research, and promote peer to peer alternatives. Our political aims could be summarized under the following maxims:

	ending the destruction of the biosphere by abandoning the dangerous conceptions of pseudo-abundance in the natural world (i.e. based on the assumption that natural resources are infinite);
	promoting free cultural exchange by abandoning the innovation-inhibiting conceptions of pseudo-scarcity in the cultural world (i.e. based on the assumption that the free flow of culture needs to be restricted through excessive copyrights etc...).

</span><span>Ahir es va celebrar la</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://www.parlament.cat/portal/page/portal/pcat/IE04/IE0420/IE042001">VIII Jornada Parlamentària sobre Mitjans de Comunicació Audiovisual</a></span><span>, el tema va ser Societat, Mitjans i Política: Drets i Deures i segons la pròpia pàgina web del Parlament de Catalunya </p>
<p></span><strong>&#8220;Participació dels ciutadans: informació i finalitat del registre</strong> <br />
La Jornada serà oberta a tots els ciutadans, que hi podran participar virtualment i fer-hi arribar en temps real les seves preguntes, els seus suggeriments i les seves aportacions&#8221;<span><br />
</span><span><br />
Els organizadors de PodCamp Barcelona vam ser convidats a participar-hi i vam seguir el protocol de registre rebent les claus per accedir-hi. Va ser impossible seguir l&#8217;esdeveniment a través de Safari. Disgustats vam canviar a Firefox però cada cop que intentávem obrir el visor, Firefox patia un &#8220;crash&#8221;. </p>
<p>Vam escriure sobre el que estava passant a</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/PodCampBCN">Twitter</a></span><span>, on si podiem seguir el que passava a través dels twitts i</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/8JornadaMitjans">els organitzadors de la jornada</a></span> <span>van repondre que estaven investigant que passava. </p>
<p>Mentre rebíem altres twitts de gent que podia veure la jornada a través de Firefox. </p>
<p>Vam preguntar si estaven utilitzant MAC o PC i tots els que van respondre estaven utilitzant PC. Vam posar en marxa un vell portàtil que té Windows dins d&#8217;Ubuntu i a Internet Explorer podíem seguir la jornada. L&#8217;únic problema és que aquest portàtil no té so, llavors el podíem veure però no escoltar. </p>
<p>Vam rebre un altre twitt dels organitzadors dient que havien comprovat que no funcionava a Safari però si a Firefox. </p>
<p>Vam intentar amb Firefox a Ubuntu però tampoc funcionava. </p>
<p>Expliquem aquesta situació amb detall perquè creiem que demostra molt bé que el concepte &#8220;open&#8221; encara no està entès. </p>
<p>No és suficient posar un esdeveniment &#8220;a Internet&#8221;. </p>
<p>&#8220;Open&#8221; vol dir utilitzar tecnología que funciona a qualsevol sistema operatiu i qualsevol cercador. Si el Parlament de Catalunya vol que els ciutadans participem ha d&#8217;aqssegurar que s&#8217;estan utilitzant mitjans realment &#8220;open&#8221;. És vergonyós que serveis comercials com Renfe té un sistema de compra de bitllets que només funciona a Internet Explorer però és totalment incapceptable que el Govern utilitzi aplicaciones que només funcionin en certes plataformes i cercadors. Estem d&#8217;acord que qualsevol iniciativa per aconseguir que les autoritats públiques siguin més &#8220;open&#8221; és positiva, però el que ens ha passat posar en evidència la distància entre l&#8217;aparador i la realitat. </p>
<p>És irònic però de l&#8217;única manera que vam poder seguir la jornada va ser a través de</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></span> <span>una aplicació web Open Source, cross-platform i cross-browser. </p>
<p>______________________________________________________________________________________________ </p>
<p>Ayer se celebró</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://www.parlament.cat/portal/page/portal/pcat/IE04/IE0420/IE042001">VIII Jornada Parlamentaria sobre Medios de Comunicación Audiovisual</a></span><span>, el tema fue Sociedad, Medios y Política: Derechos y Obligaciones y según la propia página web del Parlament de Catalunya la jornada estaba abierta a cualquier ciudadano que quisiera participar virtualmente. </p>
<p>Los organizadores de PodCamp Barcelona fuimos invitados a participar y seguimos el protocolo de registro recibiendo las claves para acceder. Fue imposible seguir el evento a través de Safari. Un poco molestos cambiamos a Firefox pero cada vez que intentábamos abrir el visor, Firefox sufría un &#8220;crash&#8221;. </p>
<p>Escribimos sobre lo que estaba pasando en</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/PodCampBCN">Twitter</a></span><span>, donde si podíamos seguir lo que ocurría a través de los twitts y</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/8JornadaMitjans">los organizadores de la jornada</a></span> <span>respondieron que estaban investigando que pasaba. </p>
<p>Mientras tanto recibimos otros twitts de gente que podía ver la jornada a través de Firefox. </p>
<p>Preguntamos si estaban utilizando MAC o PC y todos los que respondían estaban utilizando PC. Pusimos en marcha un viejo portátil que tiene Windows dentro de Ubuntu y en Internet Explorer podíamos seguir la jornada. El único problema es que este portátil no tiene sonido entonces lo podíamos ver pero no escuchar. </p>
<p>Recibimos otro twitt de los organizadores diciendo que habían comprobado que no funcionaba en Safari pero si en Firefox. </p>
<p>Intentábamos con Firefox en Ubuntu pero tampoco funcionaba. </p>
<p>Explicamos esta situación con detalle porque creemos que demuestra muy bien que el concepto &#8220;open&#8221; todavía no está entendido. </p>
<p>No es suficiente poner un evento &#8220;en Internet&#8221;. </p>
<p>&#8220;Open&#8221; quiere decir utilizar tecnología que funciona en cualquier sistema operativo y cualquier buscador. Si el Parlament de Catalunya quiere que los ciudadanos participemos tiene que asegurar que se están utilizando medios realmente &#8220;open&#8221;. Es vergonzoso que servicios comerciales como Renfe tiene un sistema de compra de billetes que solo funciona en Internet Explorer pero es totalmente inaceptable que el Gobierno utilice aplicaciones que solo funcionen en ciertas plataformas y buscadores. Estamos de acuerdo que cualquier iniciativa para conseguir que las autoridades públicas sean más &#8220;open&#8221; es positiva, pero lo que nos ha pasado pone en evidencia la distancia entre el escaparate y la realidad. </p>
<p>Es irónico pero la única manera que pudimos seguir la jornada fue a través de</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></span> <span>una aplicación web Open Source, cross-platform y cross-browser. </p>
<p>______________________________________________________________________________________________ </p>
<p>The</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://www.parlament.cat/portal/page/portal/pcat/IE04/IE0420/IE042001">8th Parliamentary Day of Audio-Visual Communication Media of the Parliament of Catalonia</a></span> <span>took place yesterday. The theme was &#8220;Society, Media and Politics: Rights and Obligations&#8221; and according to the Parliament&#8217;s own webpage, was &#8220;open to any citizen who wanted to participate virtually&#8221;. After registering and receiving a password, the participant could watch the events online and send comments which would appear in the Parliament itself. </p>
<p>PodCamp Barcelona had been invited to participate and we duly registered. However it was impossible to see the event in Safari. So, a little annoyed, we changed to FireFox which was crashed by attempting to watch the proceedings. We tried again and again and each time FF crashed. </p>
<p>We tweeted this on</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/PodCampBCN">Twitter</a></span><span>, where we could follow events, and</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/8JornadaMitjans">the organisers</a></span> <span>tweeted back that they were investigating the situation. Meanwhile we received other tweets from people who were watching via FF. So we asked them if they were using Mac or PC, and they were all using PC&#8217;s. Meanwhile we fired up an old laptop which has Windows operating inside Ubuntu and lo and behold, in Internet Explorer we could see the event. The only problem is that the laptop has no sound, so we could watch but not listen. </p>
<p>We received another tweet from the organisers to say that they had checked and although the event page didn&#8217;t work in Safari, it was working in FireFox. We then tried FF in Ubuntu and it didn&#8217;t work there either. </p>
<p>We are explaining the situation in detail because we think that it illustrates very well that the concept of &#8220;Open&#8221; is still not understood. It is not enough to put an event on &#8220;the Internet&#8221;. Open means using technology that will function on any operating system and any browser. If the Parliament calls upon citizens to participate they must make sure that they are using Open media &#8211; it is bad enough that commercial services such as RENFE have ticketing systems that only function in Internet Explorer, but it is completely unacceptable that the Government uses applications that only function on certain platforms/browsers. While we welcome any initiative to make public authorities more Open, events such as this only demonstrate the gap between the hype and the reality. </p>
<p>Ironically the only way we were able to follow The 8th Parliamentary Day of Audio-Visual Communication Media of the Parliament of Catalonia was via</span> <span><a rel="self" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></span><span>, an Open Source, cross-platform, cross-browser, web application.</span></p>
