Kelvin Leung 996871372 Lab 1 Change Camp Event Change camp is all about open, free, and collaborating environments using social tools. The effect of using these tools such as Twitter can’t be measured, words cover distances within minutes. My idea is to collaborate with other open source idealists like Google, and youtube to broadcast change camps message to the people. The event would be sort of a meet and greet between Change camp organisers and other administrators of other companies such as Google and Youtube. This meeting could host some of Change camp’s ideas to brainstorm with the attendants. Youtube’s slogan is broadcast yourself and its underlying meaning incorporates freedom of speech with quite a bit of personalisation. Change camp also promotes sharing data and collaborating ideas to achieve a greater goal than wealth, so in reality if Change camp proposes their project to Youtube and offers them an incentive to promote Change camp videos and such, Youtube would very likely want to help, this would be compared to video’s like “The Bad Breath Test” and “Is Your Tongue Kissable?” both videos that promote dental hygiene. Google, provides an even more open environment for its users and the company stands solely for sharing data and acknowledges how much the world benefit from information that in return makes our lives more convenient, efficient, and knowledgeable. Google is also an ad god, Google ads generate awareness and in the past global disasters Google always makes an effort to promote sites that are trying to help. For instance the earthquake in Haiti has its own “Help Out” link on the front page of Google’s search engine. Google is also pro collaborators, their offices work as teams and sharing ideas is a norm. Google and Change camp sound as if they go hand in hand. Change camp has worked with executives from Mozilla who’s open source browser features Google as their main search engine, pairing up and getting Google’s attention should not be a huge feat.
