The BarCampBank's MissionStatement has been discussed during our BarCampBankFlashMeeting1. For the moment, we could foresee to work and split the groups on five inter-connected clusters :

1. WikiThinkTank about the future of the bank.
2. Reputation karma, KarmaInitiative --> a technical aspect. How the karma could complete/help/replace the old scoring system used in traditional banks.
3. P2PBank (people to people) --> Credit's long tail
4. Micro-credit -> micro-financement towards entrepreneurship and associations -> WikiVenture
1. detect innovative projects via BarCamp international networking
2. select them via an OpenProcess of community-decision-making
3. seed-money from a piggy-bank dedicated to BarCamp projects (from xK USD to 100K USD)
5. Opportunities to integrate and distribute web 2.0 services to customers (this section will be developed soon)

This mission statement elsewhere :

• Colin from bankwatch loves the old concept !

Next step :

A first draft. Please, come and help us to refactor if you've participated or attended one of the BarCamp discussions. Our main tasks should be to find out relevant and consistant WikiWord with a BarCampBank prefix (cf ConventionDeNommage in french). My first suggestions for the group could be challenged with very nice suggestions heard yesterday from OriPekelman. I go ahead with 5 splits/branches-suggestions written in WikiWords for our group :

• BarCampBankWikiThinkTank -> WikiThinkTank dedicated to the bank, ou wiki-hub
• BarCampBankKarma -> KarmaInitiative and WikiNet concepts
• BarCampBankWikiVenture -> cf WikiVenture
• BarCampBankPeerToPeerBank -> cf PeerInvest
• BarCampBankWebTwo -> BankTwo services to be developed and retailed by bankers

But I'm not sure. Pehraps I'll try to give a french version to be checked with DylanDevillers to feedback this week-end. Any help in english language will be welcome. Thanks. -- ChristopheDucamp
