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.

 

ting-camp-wiki

 

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.

 

A 24/7 standalone sobby server for gobby 0.3.x is up and running. Use no other version than 0.3.x, no older, no newer. They are incompatibel and likely will crash the ting. Connect your gobby to

 

150.254.79.34

 

standard port 6522 (no need for port forwarding as a client btw).

 

The program for tings during the EarthCamp (EarthTing1) is on the respctive day-pages on ting-camp-wiki: tings, add appointments there, topics, proposals for documents to collaboratively work on, ...

 

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.
