*ArtCamp**
*9 juin (9 of june), Rennes (France - UE)

A "BarCamp"(1) will be organized in Rennes. It will be held on June 9 in 
Rennes in France. All are welcome! This BarCamp is on contemporary 
artistic practices ("ArtCamp" : digital arts, Net art, electronic music, 
visual arts...) with sciences and ICT. The purpose is to support 
exchanges between international experts, researchers, engineers, 
amateurs, artists from all horizons...  Everything is possible: to cross 
methods of innovation, to make known a project or a innovating idea, to 
imagine new collaborations, to show your experiments, to find 
competences which you lack...
A maximum of 80 people can come. Inscription is free but _obligatory_!

*(1) What is a BarCamp  ?**
*BarCamp is an international network of unconferences --- open, 
participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants 
--- focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source 
technologies and social protocols. The name is a playful allusion to its 
origins, with reference to the hacker slang term, foobar: BarCamp arose 
as a spin-off from Foo Camp, an annual invitation-only unconference 
hosted by open source publishing luminary, Tim O'Reilly. BarCamps are 
organized (and evangelized) largely through the web, harnessing what 
might be called a Web 2.0 communications toolkit. By "open-sourcing" the 
organizational process of a Foo Camp unconference, that is, codifying it 
in a wiki and making that publicly available, BarCamp 
http://barcamp.org/BarCamp  seems to have struck a chord. It has since 
been implemented in 31 cities around the world and is serving as a 
reference for unconferences in other fields. The involvement of key 
figures in the web development community, such as Tantek Çelik and Ross 
Mayfield, no doubt has helped its adoption.
