After Movement Camp - from Michael Maranda and Tim Rayner October 24, 2010

This is personal view on the story so far on Movement Camp, which happened on 10.10.10.I want to encourage more people to join in - and things are moving fast. These notes are for people who join later and like to know what happened before.

I can't remember how I came across Movement Camp and the 15 minute Film  Coalition of the Willing (COTW). It was  somewhere on line - maybe twitter, or a discussion list, or an announcement from an eco-freindly pressure group. Maybe it was through Michael Maranda's group [OSN] MovementCamp --- Coalition Movement Camp - 10-10-10 Work Party

Anyhow - I got interested and started to help spread the news.-  October 9, 2010 - [OSN] Coalition Movement Camp this Sunday

Michael and I got emailing and skyping - and after years of knowing his name and posts from miscellaneous online groups we'd been in together I got to know his voice, and we turned on our cameras and e-met face-to-face. (It seems to me that, with video calls, the idea that F2F mean "'in the physical world" rather than the digital one simply isn't true any more). We were discussing the film COTW and the plans for Movement Camp . He was suggested we should record the conversation, so we did. Later I posted some of the background links we'd referred to as well. http://dadamac.posterous.com/michael-miranda-and-pamela-mclean-video-conve

Friends,

I haven’t made a formal statement thanking everyone for their participation at Movement Camp – it was quite a ride. Many people made the event possible and I count the event both successful and a learning experience. We’re still digesting all that happened and we’re trying to figure out how to improve upon it for future iterations. I have the deepest appreciation for all the participation, support and above all joy and patience I witnessed. Thank you, each and every one. I believe we are part of a real movement, and that Sunday was a “happening” – and we’ve
Since then we have been (more at After Camp )

What I learned at Movement Camp

Take a Drupal back-end system enabling user-generated video uploads. Add, side by side, two video portals linked from Justin.tv, configured so that participants can go live at the press of a button. Add, further, an entry portal to Freenode IRC, so that everyone involved can exchange ideas in real time, bouncing off and interjecting in the live video interviews and conversations.

What do you have? One answer is: an architecture for coordinated chaos! More charitably and appropriately: a platform for a bold experiment, enabling activists, webheads, change agents, and social entrepreneurs from all over the planet to gather together to brainstorm ideas towards the future of the online climate action movement.

On 10/10/10, one hundred people swarmed the Coalition Movement Camp to push at the limits of the possible. By the time we’d wrapped up eight hours of intense discussion, we’d realized that what we’d achieved was more than just an ancillary to the collaborative art project of the film. The Movement Camp was the Coalition of the Willing refigured and enacted. Together, we evolved the Coalition project to the stage of social emergence. The Coalition vision has (more at What I learned at Movement Camp )
