Quand les geeks et les ONG se rencontrent dans un vignoble...

technologie + ONG + culture = WineCamp

L'idée est de reprendre le principe du BarCamp

Chris Messina (aka factoriejoe), un des organisateurs qui a déjà participé au MicroBarCampParis, sera par le plus grand des hasards à l'UpFING' 06 début mai à Aix-en-Provence... L'idée d'un WineCamp français à cette occasion l'enthousiasme beaucoup : si certains ont des avis/idées à ce propos, l'envie de commencer un wiki WineCampFrance me démange...

Pour les wikistes francophones : WineCamp sur CraoWiki

Pour les anglophones : WineCamp sur Omidyar Network

From the Bar Camp Blog

"What do you get when you put a bunch of geeks, a bunch of do-gooders and a bunch of wine together for a weekend in California’s Calaveras County?

You get WineCamp !

WineCamp is an ad-hoc geek and non-profit gathering taking place at a lovely vineyard over the weekend of May 26-28th."

"Our goal: to bring non-profits and technology together to improve the world around us…and we thought that a nice place to do this would be on a vineyard."

First Light from Google "social entrepreneur" program [google.org]

Partly modelled on the Omidyar Network

A few months ago I wrote "wait and see...." concerning:

"We hope that someday this institution [the google foundation] will eclipse Google itself in overall world impact by ambitiously applying innovation and significant resources to the largest of the world's problems."
- Sergey Brin & Larry Page

Today the first Light helps for seeing!

From Reuters:

"Google officials said Google.org is partly modelled on the Omidyar Network (http://www.omidyar.net/corp/partners.shtml/), a new model philanthropy funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.

Frustrated by the limits of conventional non-profit philanthropy, Omidyar and his wife, Pam, have set up an investment group that looks to make businesses work as a tool for social good, a spokeswoman for the network said.

"People in (Silicon) Valley are taking a bit of a different view of where they put their money," said Michelle Goguen, a spokeswoman for Redwood City, California-based Omidyar Network."
