Keynotes/Panels
10:50-12:30 (1 hr 40 mins). This panel is designed to stimulate further discussions on the topic among participants in camp, and among their friends and community when they go back. We place the session just be the lunch, so if groups of participants like to continue their own discussions after the session is finished, they can do it easily over lunch time. Some panel themes are seems overlapping, but we think it’s fine, there’re many aspects we can look at the topic.
(Day 1) Kickstart Keynote: “Civil Information Society and Open Governance”
by Laurence Millar
(Day 2) Panel: “Information and Communication Technologies as Tools to Promote Civil Society”
Lead the discussion by Moritz Kleine-Brockhoff and Dan Meredith
Recently there are many interesting innovations and movements for the use of information for the civil society. ICT tools introducing new possibilites and many time reshaping the social development, activism, and news reporting. Technological movements go in hands with social movements, and bring on things like investigative reports by bloggers, open government data movements, and mobile applications that make the city interacts with its citizens. We like the participants to get some ideas on this and thinking of the possibilities of these tools for their area of work.
(Day 3) Panel: “Sharing: Knowledge Commons, Open Data, and Journalism 2.0″
Lead the discussion by Sunil Abraham, Laurence Millar, and Sean Ang.
As one common theme of the current development trend is ‘sharing’ (and implicitly some level of participatory and transparency), we like the participants to get some ideas on the many aspects, consequences, and potentials of this openness, how it related to the democratic culture.
(Day 4) Panel: “Networked Spaces for Emergence: Community Media Center, Hackerspace, and Unconference”
Lead the discussion by Pete Tridish, Michel Bauwens, and Melina Chan
The session will invite us to think about a shared community space, where people in the community can try out something experimental, start a campaign, do a media workshop, or working on some handson project together. Offline together with Online. We see a potential of building up more offline spaces like hackerspace or community media center in the region, and it could lead to a more networked ICT movement for civil society in the region. As a working space, as a learning space that out of typical mainstream education, as a space for innovation, which all will leads to social changes.
(Day 5) Closing Keynote: “Open Everything and P2P Production Towards Mekong Development”
by Michel Bauwens
ICT Policy Talks
18:20-19:00 (40 mins). Last session of each day in the camp, just before dinner. We believe that together with proper ICT tools we also need proper ICT policies to make it works. Policy talks are designed to overview points of concerns in the social aspects of ICT and the suggesting models to think about their public policy.
