FOLLOW-UP
This LivingLabCamp was held in Valencia on 13 April 2010. The original Barcamp page appears below, while in this space reporting and follow-up information is presented.
LivingLabCamp Website
Given the interest displayed in the open LivingLabCamp approach and the many ideas for interaction among Living Labs that emerged, we have decided to:
- Hold further LivingLabCamps in occasion of other ENoLL events and meetings, gradually extending the scope and length in order to allow for more time for people to discuss their work and also in order to allow for interaction with the local community and its creative energies.
- Open a social networking website on the Ning platform that will be complementary to the new ENoLL website at www.enoll.org. This website will allow anyone to participate in Living Lab activities, upload photos and videos, create groups to discuss items of common interest, etc. The address is http://livinglabcamp.ning.com
Membership and attendance
The organizers of LivingLabCamp Valencia prepared a participant's list for signatures but forgot to distribute it :-( However it was possible to make a first estimate by noting those who did not take a name badge, although this leaves us in the dark for those who may have attended without having registered. At this point it doesn't matter (unless some of you require certification for having attended), but we will re-circulate the list in order to construct a the mail list for future events and announcements.
Presentations and photos
Francesco Molinari is currently emailing all those who presented in order to get approval to publish powerpoints and photos. These will be published on the Ning site as well as through links from the programme below, including the key summary phrases given by each presenter. The list of subscribed presenters (which was generally respected with additional sign-ups) was as follows:
- Esa Posio, OULLabs

PRE-LIVINGLABCAMP PAGE
What is a Barcamp?
The term BarCamp refers to a particular type of meeting based on active participation, without a pre-determined agenda of speakers. The objective is to bring people together and share knowledge. The BarCamp is a method that originates in the community of web developers but its "non-conference" approach is being extended to other fields.
All participants are normally expected to prepare a presentation/debate or participate in some way in organizing the event. All presentations occur on the day of the event but it is good practice to upload a note, a powerpoint or a video to the website (you can add links to comments at the above link).
There is no fixed agenda. The length of presentations will be decided according to the number of rooms the University of Valencia will be able to provide, but we hope to be able to have parallel sessions and allow up to 30 minutes for each presenter.
In the opening session of the BarCamp, those who have registered to speak place a post-it with the name of their talk in one of the available slots (divided by session and meeting room). Other participants refer to this board to choose which session to participate in at any given time.
Each meeting room is equipped with a video projector, a flip chart and a free-access WiFi network. Every presenter has their own time slot that can be used however he or she sees fit, considering however that the emphasis is on interaction and that it normally takes some time to set up computers, change roomes, etc. Every session has a rapporteur who synthesizes the debate in one of the plenary sessions.
The LivingLabCamp idea
This Valencia event is the second instance of an idea called LivingLabCamp. (The first one was held in Palermo in October 2009.) The idea is linked to the Living Lab movement, an approach emerging in information and communication technology R&D based on User-Driven Innovation. In synthesis, a Living Lab (LL) takes research out of the laboratory and into the dynamics of the real world, to blend technological with social and organisational innovation in a co-creative process that involves all participating actors: researcher, local authorities, SMEs, associations, individual citizens.
The LivingLabCamp idea combines the objectives of getting to know each other, sharing knowledge and experience, and having fun specific to the BarCamp concept, with an emphasis on the governance of the network that takes form during the BarCamp itself as a common theme, running in parallel with respect to the single presentations. A specific area in the web site and targeted plenary sessions offer the opportunity to ask and discuss questions like: how can we transform our abilities and ideas into common resources, how can we organise this network, how can we transform our capacity to generate innovation into a permanent thing?
The Valencia LivingLabCamp
The Valencia LivingLabCamp is organised in the context of a week of events dedicated to the Future Internet PPP and Assembly, in which the European Network of Living Labs, ENoLL, is organising a series of workshops as well as the official announcement of the new 4th Wave Living Labs.
The main goal of this LivingLabCamp is thus to provide an open environment where ENoLL Living Labs, especially the new 4th wave members, and the Future Internet community can interact, share and exchange knowledge and experiences with brief 5-10 minute presentations of on-going work and follow-up discussions.
The new Living Labs will have the opportunity to learn about the ENoLL thematic networks and join those that are closest to their interests and activities.
Future Internet researchers will be able to learn of Living Lab activities throughout Europe and identify opportunities for collaboration, including in contexts such as the Smart Cities scenarios envisaged but the open CIP ICT PSP theme 4 call for proposals.
Following the LivingLabCamp there will be a visit to the CIRMI Living Lab site.

PARTICIPATE
The central message of the Palermo LivingLabCamp is "Co-creativity for the Future Internet". Contributions of all types are therefore welcome, ranging from technical discussions of Future Internet research to descriptions of user involvement in concrete Living Lab settings. We will especially welcome different approaches and scenarios about what the Future Internet is, how it may affect the daily lives of citizens and businesses, and what are the key issues that emerge.
