BarCamp buzz
proves growing power of 'Option B'
By DAN CONOVER
BarCamp Charleston volunteer
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
OCT.
22, 2009 -- When we started our outreach for BarCamp
Charleston back in the summer, the event's organizers figured
Job No. 1 would be explaining what a BarCamp was. I'm not sure any
of us quite grasped how rapidly the Lowcountry would embrace this
strange and new (to us) concept.
Conover |
But
now October is slipping by, the Lowcountry's first BarCamp is only
days away, and here we are, scrambling to accommodate demand. We
figured we'd be able to find 200 participants, most of whom would
wait until the final days before registering. But we wound up registering
our first 200 participants almost a month ahead of time, added 50
more slots, then watched those disappear like cookies at a kindergarten
party.
Would
we find enough sponsors to cover our costs? We worried about that,
too. Then we maxed out our Platinum sponsorship slots and added
six more Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors.
All
of which begs the question: In the midst of a recession, in a community
that celebrates its legendary wariness toward "novelty,"
why did something as odd as BarCamp generate such buzz? Such enthusiasm?
If
you're not sure what BarCamp is, welcome to a very nonexclusive
club. Take me, for instance. When local organizer Chrys Rynearson
first approached me, I told him I'd be happy to help, but that I
didn't see myself participating. "BarCamps are for programmers,"
I told him. So began my education.
Yes,
the original BarCamps (circa 2005) were put together by computer
programmers for computer programmers. But as its "unconference"
ideal spread into a global phenomenon, BarCamps morphed into truly
diverse reflections of the communities that hosted them. Is it any
surprise, then, that the Charleston camp looks like it will have
a heavy dose of culinary and visual arts?
What
makes a BarCamp a BarCamp isn't its topics, but the "unconference"
concept. Unlike standard professional conferences, where paid organizers
hire celebrity speakers and make their profits selling tickets,
an unconference stands the distinction between expert and audience
on its head. BarCamps are free events based on the idea that there's
a lot of knowledge out there, and that everyone has something to
offer.
Which
is why the 250 people who show up on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Lowcountry
Innovation Center will each have the opportunity to present a session
(not that they have to). It's why the format is open, inclusive
and egalitarian.
Why
did BarCamp Charleston take off? I think it's because, despite all
the cynical, fear-based mass-media messages to the contrary, people
like getting to know each other. We like learning and collaborating
and trying new things. We're curious. We sincerely want to make
this home of ours a better place, but we'd prefer to do that without
making a fuss.
Most
local mass media have ignored the event because it was "too
weird" or "just some geek thing," but do the math.
Our success demonstrates how strong Charleston's peer-to-peer networks
and new-media outlets have become. It shows the vibrancy of our
knowledge-based and creative-sector economies. Other events live
or die on mainstream coverage. For BarCamp, it was Option B.
So
if you procrastinated and missed open registration, check by the
Web site, http://www.barcampchs.org/,
for waiting-list information, and we'll pass out cancellations if
any come open. And if you were thinking about sponsoring but weren't
sure, drop us a line and we'll talk about 2010. Because for the
ideas that drive BarCamp and our emerging economy, 2009 is just
the beginning.

Good
signs, bad signs and the fighting 'Seceders'
By
ANN THRASH, editor
CharlestonCurrents.com
OCT.
22, 2009 -- Political signs are up all over the Lowcountry as the
Nov. 3 elections draw near, and every candidate wants his or her
sign to stand out. But some of the signs around our home turf in
Mount Pleasant are standing out for the wrong reason: We can't read
them. And it has nothing to do with our 47-year-old eyes, which
work just fine, thank you very much.
Thrash |
With
19 candidates for Mount Pleasant Town Council this year, no doubt
there was special pressure to come up with signs that don't look
like everyone else's. But on a couple of the signs we drive past
on a daily basis, it's really impossible to read the candidate's
name. Probably the hardest signs to read are the ones with the candidate's
name in pink on a green background. I won't say the candidate's
name not only because I don't want to embarrass anyone, but because
I honestly don't know what it is. Standing still, in good light,
sure, it's readable. But driving by in a car at 30 or 35 mph, which
is the way most people see these signs? It's just not working.
There's
also a hard-to-read sign that uses some darker shades of blue and
green -- and I'm not talking here about the mayoral candidate with
the big blue and green signs that suggest you vote for him "because
America begins at home." (What's up with that in a town election,
by the way?)
Perhaps
red and blue are perennial favorites for campaign signs not just
because they're the colors of the American flag, but because candidates
have learned over the decades that they work - they're at-a-glance
colors that contrast well with a candidate's name in bold white
type. Another effective color combination that seems to be popular
this year is yellow and black (yellow signs, black type). Those
signs stand out among the red-white-and-blue masses and are easy
to read as well.
Whatever
signs you like, just remember to vote, vote early and vote often.
A
GIFT FOR THE FOOTBALL FAN: Halloween is next week, and you know
what that means: Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas
and Hanukkah are going to be here before we know it. If you've got
a college football fan on your holiday shopping list, here's a great
gift idea. A new book called "Glory on the Gridiron: A History
of College Football in South Carolina" is sure to be a hit
not only with fans of the game and Palmetto State teams large and
small, but also with those who love the passions, traditions and
rivalries that make college football in the South a religion for
so many folks.
On
Nov. 3 at 7 p.m., the Charleston Museum is hosting a talk and book
signing featuring the book's authors, Dr. Fritz P. Hamer and John
Daye. You can buy the book and get it personalized all at the same
time. The book covers not only the major-college programs at South
Carolina and Clemson, but also looks at smaller schools such as
The Citadel, South Carolina State and -- yes -- the College of Charleston,
among others. It delves into the state's first recorded intercollegiate
match between Wofford and Furman in 1889 and traces how football
has evolved into a big-time, multimillion-dollar business in the
state. Key rivalries, players, coaches and personalities are part
of the story, of course. And where else could we learn that "the
Seceders" was once a football team nickname in South Carolina
-- and not at all for the reason you might think?
For
more information about the book signing, which is free, call the
museum at 722-2996, ext. 235, or visit
online.

Saturday's
Paws in the Park, walk to benefit Animal Society
The
Charleston Animal Society's Paws in the Park and Walk for the Animals
fund-raiser will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hampton Park
on Oct. 24, with a variety of events, exhibits and activities for
people and pets. The daylong event includes a fun walk team fundraiser,
games, vendors, food and live music.
The
walk will take place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. round the circle at
the park and will feature teams that have raised funds for CAS.
There's still time to register and take part in the walk; just go
here online. Participant registration costs $10. Anyone who
wants to sponsor a walker can also do so through the Web site; walkers
who raise more than $200 will receive a Paws in the Park T-shirt.
Money
raised at Saturday's event will support the Charleston Animal Society,
which provides food, shelter, medical care and compassion to more
than 12,000 homeless animals each year. Last year the agency placed
more than 5,450 animals in new homes or reunited them with their
owners. It also spayed or neutered more than 6,000 animals and provided
rescue efforts for animals that had been treated cruelly. The CAS
also teaches more than 3,000 local students each year about the
importance of empathy and compassion for animals and people.
Third annual
Buy Local Week planned for late November
Lowcountry
Local First will sponsor the third annual "Buy Local Week"
from Nov. 30 through Dec. 6, just in time for the traditional kickoff
of the holiday shopping season. The weeklong grassroots campaign
encourages Lowcountry residents to "think local" when
considering where to make purchases, buy local goods whenever possible,
and support the businesses that keep our community unique.
Among
several events planned for Buy Local Week are a screening of the
documentary "Independent America: Rising from the Ruins,"
an "Eat Local" night, and a holiday stroll/window-decorating
contest. The festivities wrap up on Dec. 6 with a "Buy Local,
Be Local Bash" at The Landing at Shem Creek. Details on these
and other events will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
LLF
says in a press release that the buy-local movement has provided
a note of hope during otherwise difficult economic times for many.
"The Department of Commerce reported in December 2008 that
retail sales overall were down a record 9.8 percent over December
of 2007. In contrast, a survey conducted by the Institute for Local
Self-Reliance found that cities with active 'Buy Local' campaigns
reported much stronger holiday sales than those in cities without
such campaigns," the release states. "Independent retailers
in these cities reported an average drop in sales of 3.2 percent,
compared to a steeper decline of 5.6 percent for those in cities
without an active Buy Local initiative."
For
more information on LLF or to get involved in Buy Local Week, go
to this Web site or call Executive Director Jamee Haley at 740-5444.

Charleston officials
ask for public's input on plan
City
of Charleston officials are asking those who live or work in the

The
Department of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability is updating
the city's Comprehensive Plan, the backbone of all city planning.
PP&S developed the online survey in conjunction with public
meetings held in the last couple of weeks. The survey -- available
here online -- takes only 5 minutes to complete and will be
available online through early November.
"We
need as much input as possible from people around the city,"
says a press release from Christopher Morgan, director of PP&S's
Planning and Neighborhoods Division. "Please share this link

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Mepkin
Abbey
Located
on the Cooper River, Mepkin
Abbey has a diverse history. In its early life the property
served as the seven-thousand-acre rice plantation and family home
of the eighteenth-century statesman Henry Laurens. Surviving traces
of the plantation include a family cemetery and a large oak avenue.
In
1936 the noted publisher Henry Luce, who established both Time and
Life magazines, purchased the property. While living at Mepkin,
Luce and his wife, Claire Booth, hired the architect Edward Durell
Stone to construct several buildings on the site, including a forester's
lodge, a laundry building, a pump house, and a farm manager's house,
made mostly of brick. Stone received his training at Harvard University
and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and spent his early
career designing houses in the international style. The buildings
at Mepkin reflect his modernist sensibility.
The
Luces also hired the landscape architect Loutrel Briggs, designer
of many important gardens in South Carolina, to create a formal
composition of camellias and azaleas overlooking the Cooper River.
In 1949 the property was donated to a religious community in keeping
with Mrs. Luce's wishes. By the 1960s the property had become a
monastery that housed the Trappist monks of the Cistercian Order.
… The site includes an austere Cistercian church in the shape
of a cross. In its transition from a rice plantation to a monastery
and farm, Mepkin Abbey reflects an unusual blending of tradition,
modern aesthetics, and spiritual transcendence, making it one of
the most unique places in South Carolina.
