Oliver Gassner: Digitale Tage

Da gerade wieder Barcamps mit Eintrittspreisen von 150-1500 EUR (!) annonciert werden, kann man ja mal ausrechnen, was so ein Barcamp kosten darf, wenn man kein Sponsoring hätte.

Also mal die Zahlen vom Barcamp Bodensee 2010:

5000 f Essen + Wasser + Gläsergebühr [hier kann man mit simplerem essen wier Eintop oder Sandwiches sicher nochmal was gutmachen]
2000 f für Cocktails & Würste abends am Strand (2,5 Tage!) [war an sich Luxus, 500-1000 reichen auch, oder Null und abends zahlt jede/r selbst]
500 f Bier (s.o.)
Wein und Saft gesponsort
bei kalkulierten 220 Personen oder so.
[alles Brutto]

(Ja, die Zahlen waren so glatt, das war alles auf den Cent pauschaliert ;) )

macht 7500/220

ca. 34 EUR/Nase

D.h. wenn mnan 50 nähme würden die Leute auch nicht verhungern.

Diese Rechnung geht natürlich davon aus, dass man die Location umsonst bekommt. (Ggf. müssen Putzkosten, Wachleute oder Versicheruhng mit eingeplant werden, aber das sind idR keine 1000 EUR) Wenn man natürlich in eine Tagungsstätte geht und Tagungspauschalen abdrücken muss, ist das dann nicht Sinn der Sache. 'Camp' im Gegensatz zu 'Kongress' steht ja auch für eine etwas 'pfadfinderhafte' Location: "einfach leben". (WLAN, Beamer oder Flipchart/Whiteboard, Dach ;) )

Ich kenne einige Barcamp-Planer, die eben deswegen noch keins auf den Beinen haben, weil sie noch keine Location haben. Wobei lokale Hochschulen in der Regel da tolerant und begeisterungsfähig sind.

Und:

Nur weil auf Wünsche und Fragen der Anwesenden eingegangen wird, ist etwas noch lange kein Barcamp. Da möge man sich dann bitte eine eigene Marke aufbauen. Und die Finger von der Barcamp-Flare lassen. (Begriffe wie OpenSpace steht ja auch noch zur Verfügung.)

Am Donnerstagabend, 11. November 2010, und ganztägig am Freitag, 12. November, findet das erste Creativity & Communication Camp in Stuttgart statt. Es ist ein Barcamp rund um die Themen Social Media, Mobiles Internet, Games, Kreativitätstechniken und Marketing-Kommunikation. Willkommen sind digitale wie analoge, technische wie immaterielle Ideen und Beiträge.

Wir twittern unter ,@creacommcamp Hashtag ist #cccamp

Das #cccamp ist eingebettet in eine Stuttgarter Veranstaltungswoche, die am Mittwoch und Donnerstag mit den beiden Konferenzen DMMK und Create10 beginnnt und am Samstag mit dem Karriere-Tag DMMK Young Professionals endet.

Wir hoffen, ein spannendes Element zu dieser Veranstaltungswoche hinzuzufügen und mit der Barcamp-Idee neue Freunde gewinnen zu können.

Wer das #cccamp mit Sponsoring unterstützen möchte, wendet sich bitte an oliver.gassner+cccamp@gmail.com.
Und wer das Orgateam unterstützen möchte: auch ;)

Danke.

Ok, it might be somewhat early to do a summary of bcbs10, but I have some stuff in mind.

Home - Barcamp Bodensee / Lake Constance @ mixxt

First for the negative points:
- I wish we had made the commitment to make bcbs carbon negative, including all travel there. Which would have implied a meatless camp also. (U can eat meat on the other 363 days of the year if you wish to do that)

- We should have thought of the people drinking tea, sorry.

- It is OK if you hand out materials about your company in personal talks or in your presentation. It is rather respectless
* facing the sponsors, to cutter their materials with yours, after all they sponsor ALSO to gain visibility.
* facing the team to have them throw away your advertising material instead of removing the stuff yourself.

- Having all the tax and customs issues were not really great. and I hated the solution I had to use (use my company as a "buffer" for the funds to flow through which will (among others) raise my costs for tax consulting). But I had no other way to do it at short notice that I could come up with. (This applied to more than 70% of the budget.)

- Having little sponsoring in the beginning and lots of money in the end led to stress and the grade of organizational creativity I would like to have avoided.

- Nowshow was not really a problem, it was 30% and I had accounted for 25% (plus extra on Sunday), so the 5% error margin was ca. 10 people, i can live with that. (It would have been well below 30% had I sent messages to remind people to sign out, but as shirts and food had already been ordered I had nothing to gain but cosmetics from a step like that)

- Although I feel I worked enough for the camp I loaded a lot of work on Patric in the last weeks. Anyone else might have tuned his back on the projekt. He did not. Lucky me. Lucky us. Thanks again. (And his girlfriend also smiled at me, so I guess I am safe.)

- Se lost a 'Sackkarre' and the (5-10 Kilos of) cake we wanted to use for the Sunday afterparty of the team (this has not showed up yet). Our best guess is that some employee of the HTWG took it cause they thought we wanted to throw it away (???) (has anyone seen that stuff on Sunday around 17:30 or 18:00?.

- we had acoustic and disciplinary problems at the startup introduction/session presentation, we maybe should have done that in room 007 (whch we discussed and discarded)

- I feel I need an orga break again, if someone wants to do 2011 I will gladly help with advice, but ... 2012 I can imagine to play a more central role again.

- While I was unhappy with parts of the team in the preparation phase I could almost completely draw out of orga during the barcamp (I knew I had x more hours to work on accounting after that AND I was pretty burned out after the last days before the camp,... ...). So my unhappyness subsided. This is a good transistion point to the positive.

PLUS Side

- We thought we had lost a passport (and someone must have found it and did not hand it in) but we did not really lose it in the first place.

- We thought someone had 'taken' the Droidcamp-coffee, which also proved wrong ;)

- We were darn lucky with the weather AGAIN (as soon as we had finished cleaning up liquid hell boke loose). I have no idea how we would have fared had it rained. (even the strandbar would have been closed then.)

- Somebody said to me: "I feared the 2008 location could not be topped. But you did it." I Still think Zeppelin University was great but HTWG had some positive aspects (mainly the strandbar, actually). I preferred the youth hostel soultion of 2008 and the way party and baracmp were totally at the same place. If we could add indoor camping this would even be better. Some stuff at HTWG did not make orga happy, but we might be able to work on that.

- everybody had a good time and was nice to each other, yay for you!!!

- we have some new werewolf-fans (and should have played on Friday, too)

- I liked the mix of sessions between environmental issues, tech topics, newbie sessions and above all, the wine tatsing which proved to be a major PLUS and one I had not anticipated as a highligt before (we just need the wine colder next time)

- We were rather successful to make tthe barcamp more international tripling (2->7) the number of French visitors, increasing the number of Swiss visitors (we failed regarding Austria but will try to fix this), we had 1 dutch (via CH) and one Dane (via @frogpond),and 2 Serbs which I counted as French as they came from Strasbourg, 1 of the 7 French was a German working in France), but we have to get better here. Much much better. First steps have been initiated ;) (See my earlier posting on an international barcamp organizer network.)

- I personally reached my goal to get to know many people from the area better AND attract internationals and Germans from all over the country to the lake.

OK, let's barcamp again sometime.

Barcamp Bodensee starts tomorrow evening and lasts till Sunday 18:00.

I just booked my train ticket for tomorrow and will be there from around noon. stop by and help us set tings up ;) )

We have really great and helpful sponsors (after we first really struggled), check the out on the web page.

We will have a free city tour Friday at 16:00 (a first?)
We will have a get together with processo, grilled sausages and cocktails (!) and beer and softdrinks Friday at 1830.
We will have 30 free beds (no breakfasts ;)) and breakfast for all on the barcamp site at HTWG at 9:00 on Sat and Sunday.
We will have up to 50 free BIKES (carbon reduction, yay) again as in 2008.
We have a great logo and the coolest barcamp POLOS to date. (with a stitched logo!)
We will have great wifi (I hope ;) ).
We will have comprehensive 'all U need 2 know' infosheets (and double sided nametags).
We will have a great get together on Saturday (again with drinks & food) and even coffee and cake in the afternoon, a wine tasting as a last session Saturday.
We will hopefully have many BC newbies (welcome).
We will have a jobboard - as the crisis is OVER ;) ...
and we will have late night werewolf-Sessions, who would have guessed.
We will have excellent weather. (Ok, rain on Sunday but that is only because we will be sad to leave bcbs - and to make it easier to say goodbye and to wash away some of the tears ;)

And of course:

We will have ample interesting and enlightening, educational and fun sessions and many rooms - if they are not enough we can open up an extra LEVEL of rooms ;)

And we will have a bunch of new friendships all across Europe and some more people in love... with Lake Constance ;).

We will have barcampers from France (even Paris, yay!), Denmark, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany (afaik).

BCBS is the second barcamp in Germany that is truely international besides the barcamp in Berlin:
Whenever a session is attended or held by someone not speaking German the session language wil be English. The Camp-Orga-Language is English.

We are one tiny step closer to the dream of a 'Barcamp in the Middle Of Europe' where we all exchange handshakes, and smiles and knowledge and dreams about what we want to do with internet and society alike.

We were not really successful in getting people here from GB, Italy, Spain, The vatican (kidding), eastern neighbors, BeNeLux and the rest of Europe or even the US. I am afraid my energy did not last that far.
But I hope we can re-live and re-vive the spirit of 2008 and inspire more people to help along with this dream so that it will become a dream of all of us.

We had a wifi crisis, a coffee crisis, a beer crisis, a 'roof over the head if it should be raining' crisis, a 'too early curfew crisis' and the team really killed all of those.

Special thanks to Patric, Patric and Patric, Ute, Martin, Harald, Thomas G&K, Stephan, Susanne & all the others, who jumped in, supported the project all the way or sometimes did only the tiny thing at the right time when it was really really really needed. Thanks to all of you if you jusnt lend a hand during these 2 days whenever it is needed.

OK, happy campers, let's barCAMP.
