Conversazioni dal basso (we may translate it as grassroots conversations) is a series of events organized by the degrees in Communication Studies at Università degli Studi di Urbino "Carlo Bo". The main aim of the events is to study and play with social media. During the Festival weekend several events has been planned: 1) Urbino Geek Dinner (Friday 10 October) The GeekDinner works in the same way as the BarCamp Unconference: it is a decentralized\, self-organized event. We will propose a venue and publish more details soon. Stay tuned! 2) Aca BarCamp (Saturday 11 October) Adding the academic adjective to a BarCamp may seem strange at first but we love paradoxes. We also love both informality and science. We plan to gather the best Italian Internet researchers as well as some friends from all around the world. If you are interested in the impact of social media on society and you are a bright mind (we know you are :) ) this is the event for you! 3) Blogger Olympic Games (Sunday 12 October - morning) Olympic Games for Bloggers (details will follow). Just know it will be a lot of fun involving around the small street of a Renaissance town of Urbino ----------- Il Festival di Urbino 2008 è il secondo evento giocoso della serie "Conversazioni dal Basso" "Conversazioni dal Basso" è una serie di eventi dedicati a riflettere e giocare con i social media. Gli eventi sono organizzati dal LaRiCA (Laboratorio di Ricerca Comunicazione Avanzata) e dai corsi di laurea in Scienze della Comunicazione dell'Università degli Studi di Urbino "Carlo Bo". Durante il Festival sono previsti diversi eventi: 1) Urbino Geek Dinner (Venerdì 10 Ottobre) Le GeekDinner funzionano in modo simile alle unconference come i BarCamp: è decentralizzato ed auto-organizzato. Nei prossimi giorni proporremo un locale ed apriremo un wiki per raccogliere le adesioni. 2) Academic BarCamp (Sabato 11 Ottobre) Aggiungere l'aggettivo accademico ad un BarCamp può sembrare strano ma a noi piacciono i paradossi. Anche più dei paradossi ci piace l'idea di riunire in un ambiente informale i giovani studiosi di Internet italiani (senza dimenticare alcuni ospiti stranieri). 3) Blogger Olympic Games (Domenica 12 Ottobre - mattina) Giochi olimpici per blogger. Una serie di specialità che richiederanno la capacità di fare rete sociale e di muoversi nello spazio urbano della città rinascimentale di Urbino. Seguiranno maggiori dettagli con elenco e descrizione delle specialità ed uno spazio per raccogliere le adesioni ed iscrivere le squadre o i singoli URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/758704/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/758704/ DTSTAMP:20080603T032806 LAST-UPDATED:20080603T032806 CATEGORIES:Festivals ORGANIZER;CN=FG:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/13492/ LOCATION;VENUE-UID="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/30823/":Facoltà di Sociologia "Carlo Bo" @ Via Saffi\, 15\, Urbino\, Marche 61029 IT END:VEVENT BEGIN:VVENUE X-VVENUE-INFO:http://evdb.com/docs/ical-venue/draft-norris-ical-venue.html NAME:Facoltà di Sociologia "Carlo Bo" ADDRESS:Via Saffi\, 15 CITY:Urbino REGION;X-ABBREV=an:Marche COUNTRY;X-ABBREV=it:Italy POSTALCODE:61029 URL;X-LABEL=Venue Info:http://www.soc.uniurb.it/ END:VVENUE BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20081013 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20081016 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT SUMMARY:Social Capital Markets Conference DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1025437/ ] Join hundreds of other like-minded individuals and organizations focused on accelerating the flow of capital to good. Big Change is Coming Doing well and doing good is the mantra of a new generation of entrepreneurs and the organizations that invest in them. And Social Capital Markets 2008 (SoCap08) is a new event designed to bring together all of the people and organizations with a similar deep passion to change the world through sustainable businesses. We're at the cusp of a massive sea-change in the ways that businesses can impact global and local problems. In the past\, startup profit-motivated businesses were funded by risk capital\, and socially-focused organizations were supported by philanthropy. The profit-oriented were rarely allowed to let a social mission intrude\, and the socially-oriented were discouraged from building sustainable businesses. But a new breed of entrepreneurs - and a new mentality of those who fund them - is changing the landscape of business\, investing and philanthropy. At SoCap08\, attendees will learn what works and what doesn't in this new world of social capital and social entrepreneurs\, which hybrid social & business models reach sustainability and which don't\, and where this emerging industry is headed. Attendees will be able to network with their peers\, discovering a whole new realm of people they had hoped existed - organizations\, groups\, and individuals who share the same intention to launch and support sustainable businesses designed to impact global and local problems. Investors and entrepreneurs will find themselves helping to build a new community\, gaining encouragement as they realize that they are not alone\, but are part of something big\, important - and rapidly growing. At an ordinary event\, the content on the panels and keynotes reflects the conversation in the halls. At a good event\, the content on the panels and keynotes guides the conversation in the halls\, helping it go further\, focusing the passion of the participants on the key challenges and opportunities in front of them. At a great event\, the conversation in the halls becomes the content on the panels and the main stage\, the network connections become the narrative for the commons - and a new industry will begin to form. SoCap08 will be that kind of event.

It is intended to communicate the results of the past years‘ semantic systems activities to a broader audience\, especially to practitioners from industry and academia. In a cooperative effort\, four major Austrian institutions\, which have actively been conducting research in that area throughout the past years\, will set the stage for this event. Participants will have the opportunity to see how semantic technologies may improve and enhance existing Web-based software systems and how the Web of Data will provide a completely new paradigm of managing globally interlinked information. As a result\, attendees will get a better idea about the practical benefits of semantic solutions and researchers obtain valuable feedback for further research directions aiming at productivity and applicability of the existing technology for real-world use cases.
