Travel

The great thing about Zurich is that it's easily reachable by train. The other great thing about Zurich ist that it's one hour away by air from all major European cities. Some links:

Could somebody post (idiot-proof) directions from the train station here, please? (+ travel time) -- StephanieBooth Sure. Travel time should be no more than ten minutes. When you arrive at the train station (getting off the train and facing the main hall), the easiest way is to go to the right, down the escalators, through the hall, up another escalator to the tram stop "Bahnhofplatz/Hauptbahnhof"; Trams 3, 14 and 10 stop here. Take the 10 (final stop "Sternen Oerlikon") to "ETH/Universitätsspital" (3 stops). The tram stop is located directly in front of the main ETH building ("HG" for "Hauptgebäude"). If you get lost, call me at 079 634 12 03. :-) Peter

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Are there rules? This is Switzerland, there are rules for everything! My very own grandmother will ensure that common decency is upheld at all times. No, just kidding, see TheRulesOfBarCamp for the 'rules'.
  • Can I help out? Yes of course! We need help in organizing the event (finding a venue, sponsors, and good speakers). At the conference, we'll need people who handle registrations, questions, and guard the T-Shirts. Enter your name under 'Participants'. Also, send an e-mail to Dominik Tarolli so we have your e-mail addresses.
  • Can I present? Of course! Enter your name in the 'unAgenda'. Drop us a line if you have questions.
  • Can I present in German? What about Schwyzertüütsch? English? French? Anything is fine. Please note your language choice in the unagenda.
  • What can I speak about? Anything involving blogs! The spirit of BarCamp is that you're free to choose your topic, your language, and presentation style.
  • Do I have to bring in my own overhead projector, beamer, flipchart,...? No, we will have projectors, flipcharts and power supplies. All you have to bring is fun, and optionally your laptop, and your video camera, if you like.
  • How can I communicate online and during sessions? There are several ways to do this: We have set up a public chat on Skype or you join us on our IRC channel #blogcampswitzerland [4]

Press Coverage

30. März 2007, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Blogger zum Anfassen (Link)

150 Internet-Akteure an der ETH Zürich

mhz. Rund 150 hauptsächlich aus der Deutschschweiz stammende Blogger trafen sich am vergangenen Samstag an der ETH Zürich zum ersten «Blog-Camp Switzerland». Organisiert wurde die Veranstaltung nach dem «Unkonferenz»-Prinzip, das von der Prämisse ausgeht, dass jeder Teilnehmer auch Referent sein kann. So nahm das «Camp»-Programm denn auch erst an Ort und Stelle Gestalt an, wo sich Mitteilungswillige in die insgesamt 20 zur Verfügung stehenden Zeitfenster eintragen konnten. Wer deshalb ein Chaos erwartet hatte, wurde indes eines anderen belehrt.

Das Themenspektrum der zum Teil parallel stattfindenden Referate war so breit gefächert, wie es die Weblog-Szene selbst ist. Ein gestandener Geschäftsführer berichtete vom Einsatz von Weblogs im unternehmensinternen Wissensmanagement, ein Kommunikationsfachmann sprach zur Beziehung zwischen Bloggern und Öffentlichkeitsarbeitern, und ein weissrussischer Journalist referierte über die Rolle von Weblogs in den postkommunistischen Ländern Europas. Selbst auf den vermummten Hacker, der auf Sicherheitslücken zahlreicher etablierter Websites hinwies, musste nicht verzichtet werden.

Im Zentrum der Veranstaltung stand aber die Gelegenheit, auch im richtigen Leben einmal «social networking» betreiben zu können und so endlich die Gesichter hinter den verschiedenen Weblogs kennenzulernen. Es wurde denn auch viel diskutiert, fotografiert, gefilmt und in Echtzeit «gepostet», sprich: publiziert.

Zumindest einige Vorurteile dürfte das Blog- Camp endgültig aus der Welt geräumt haben: Blogger sind weder ausschliesslich männlichen Geschlechts, noch sind sie nur unter der jüngeren Generation zu finden. Und bloss im stillen Kämmerlein allein vor sich hin poltern wollen sie offenbar auch nicht. Bereits am 20. Oktober soll eine Wiederauflage des Treffens stattfinden.
