TingCamp is BarCamp online and in real-time, without a location, everywhere.

 

Tings = real-time sessions on collab-editor with export of the results to a wiki page soon after the session.

Collab-editor software is essential to participate in a ting. Such is gobby. VoIP (especially with a push-to-talk function, like teamspeak) along with it is interesting.

 

Tings will be helpful to prepare, document and summarize BarCamps and for simultaneous interaction with a world community of BarCampers interested in but not physically present at a local BarCamp. It's about building the culture of a gateway to the outside before, during and after Barcamps. IRC is translucent and not sufficient for that. It only adds at he end whereas collab-editor is like a wikipage with as many cursors on it as participants.

 

Experimentation with appointed collab-editor sessions have been going on since Feb 04 on the ting-wiki.

 

Origin of the term

Tings (scandianvian spelling, things in English) have been the council-gatherings of the ancient Germanians and Vikings. Like these ancient tings had no written language online-tings (without VoIP at least) have no spoken language.
