All the discussions of ecoCampLondon will be collected in a document called ecoCamp@World.
When we run ecoCamp in Italy we did it by asking the promoter of the session to fill in a template summarizing the conclusions.
As we are a BarCamp and we want to give a Web 2.0 flavour to the event we decided to use Twitter to do that.
We will use LiveTwitting.com
How does it work?
- Every attendee needs to follow either @livetwitting or @livet
- There are very simple commands to learn
| FUNCTION | COMMAND |
| To start livetwitting | d livetwitting ON Name or ID of Conference # Session Title
Example: d livetwitting ON BlogWorld 2008 # Keynote |
| To record your notes | Just type away! Every status update will be recorded until you turn it off. You can send direct messages (d livetwitting your notes) if you don’t want to share your livetwitting with your followers. |
| To mark a segment with a Topic name (optional) | d livetwitting TOPIC Name of Topic |
| To mark a speaker (optional) | d livetwitting SPEAKER Speaker’s Name |
| To mark a Question & Answer segment (optional) | d livetwitting QA |
| To pause recording (i.e. to say hi to someone else) | d livetwitting PAUSE |
| To resume recording (after a pause command) | d livetwitting RESUME |
| To end livetwitting | d livetwitting OFF |
We will give a Twitter name to each session so it will be very easy for you to tag it appropriately.
If you already use twitter during events this will be very easy for you. If not start exploring it right now and get ready for the event. We are here, so shout if you are not sure about how to use it.
