Campus Party (CP) is a week-long LAN party and technology festival founded in 1997 in Málaga, Spain as a gaming event that linked Internet users throughout the country. In the past 14 years, it has evolved into a 7-day, 24-hour festival connecting online communities, gamers, programmers, bloggers, governments, universities and students. As of 2011, Campus Party is held annually in four countries; making it Spain and Latin America's largest technology event.[1] In 2012, the event will be held for the first time in the United States in Silicon Valley, California.[2]

Campus Party has a broad focus, covering technology innovation and electronic entertainment, with an emphasis on free software, programming, astronomy, social media, gaming, green technology, robotics, security networks and computer modeling.[3][4][5]

History edit

In December 1996 EnRED, a Spanish youth organization, wanted to found a small, private LAN party held at the Benalmádena Youth Center in Andalucía, Spain. Paco Regageles, then director of Channel 100, suggested they expand the event, and promoted it as a LAN party under the original name, the "Ben-Al Party" in reference to the event's location in Benalmádena.

In April 1998 the second Ben-Al Party was held, attracting 5 times the number of participants and national media attention to the gaming event.[6] EnRED abandoned the project as it grew, and in April 1999 Paco Regageles along with Belinda Galiano, Yolanda Rueda, Pablo Antón, Juanma Moreno and Rafa Revert founded the non-profit organization E3 Futura, with the broader objective of making technology in all forms more accessible to society. Asociación E3 Futura organizes the Campus Party festivals through their associate company, Futura Networks, the Campus IT Summer University and the Cibervoluntariado digital inclusion movement.[7]

In 2000 Manuel Toharia, a speaker at previous Campus Parties, and director of Príncipe Felipe's Museum of Sciences in Valencia's City of arts and Sciences suggested that Ragageles expand and make the event more international by moving it to the famous museum. That year, Campus Party doubled in size, attracting 1,600 participants to the 6-day festival.

Futura Networks edit

Futura Networks was founded by the non-profit E3 Futura in 1999 to create forums and educational programs, such as Campus Party, to promote innovation and responsible participation in digital culture.[8] Their headquarters are in Madrid, Spain with satellite offices in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, London and most recently San Francisco. Futura Networks employs 88 people, and hires approximately 20 local organizers and hundreds of volunteers for each Campus Party event.[9]

Something Better edit

Something Better is an initiative announced on January 17th, 2011 at Campus Party Brazil by CP co-founder Paco Ragageles and José María Álvarez-Pallete, President of Telefonica Latin America. Its goals are to promote the idea that the "Internet isn't a network of computers, but a network of people" and to encourage responsible and proper use of the networks.[10] Paco Ragageles said that the new initiative aims to start a movement of civic and social responsibility on the web that promotes innovation and collaboration, and addresses common issues such as Internet privacy, piracy, spam and cyberbullying.[11] One of the reported objectives of Something Better is to create an Internet use education program through Ministries of Education globally.

The first development of Something Better is Geeks Sans Frontières, a volunteer ambassador program which is based on the concept of Médecins Sans Frontières, to help bring technology education to developing countries.[12]
