By March 11, in Naples, is scheduled the meeting of Girl Geek Dinners, women who are passionate about technology, Internet and New Media, during this event will be able to compare their experiences and tell their stories. The purpose of these dinners is to bring together women working in the field of hi-tech, creating a community where men are clearly also welcome.
With one exception: the dinners are only girl, so only men are allowed to participate as special guests of a woman and in limited numbers at some events. At present the appointment of Naples is Francesca Ferrara, a freelance journalist and founder of the GGD project in Campania. In this interview, Frank tells us about his relationship with technology, as it is born and from which direction it is headed.
Sensitive and passionate woman, she had to challenge the territory before imposing a digital culture for women. It has succeeded thanks to his perseverance and determination, together with a good dose of irony. Francesca, your passion for Naples and technology in general led you to found progettoCampania2.0, opened September 22, 2009, and its start-up digital cultural trails.
You've defined a window cognitive, in which a FriendFeed to collect free pens who want to create innovation. Tell us about this important project, as it has begun and, above all, what difficulties you encountered. Campania is an area where hard work, but rich in creative talent and innovative minds that their actions have created added value in their micro-and macrocosm.
Unlike other regions and cities, Naples did not have a "container", a "frame", a showcase of cultural matrix transversely dedicated to everyone from students to professionals in the grass. The show trails operated by Digital ground for all those people had the wish to emerge within a context dedicated to their work in innovation and new frontiers of communication developed with the birth of the Internet.
progettoCampania2.0 comes from my own personal feelings towards the country: Naples is no less of Milan or Rome where there is a lot more attention to digital culture. Yet, the paradox is that despite having a degree course dedicated "digital literacy" and leaving a "Master Transmediale" at the Federico II, events and moments dedicated to the field there are so few who can be counted on fingertips and about the Internet is still something that tried his interlocutor.
I lived on my skin, looking for work and a few I have been able to shake hands, but because they spoke and speak my own language, "2.0". Difficulty? Many enough to challenge the territory, but in the end the balance of the first year of operation has been positive. The other big project, six of which the promoter / importing your always in the region, Campania is the GGD, format created in 2005 by Sarah Blow, a British software engineer.
What is it exactly? The GGD, or rather the Girl Geek Dinners, as the name implies, the dinners are women who are passionate about Internet and New Media Technology. In 2009 I participated in those of Milan and Rome, and was also a draftsman. Simply, I fell in love with a project for women that I married because the values \u200b\u200bare also mine, and I used to take him to Naples.
Once you have received permission from Sarah Blow and coordinated with the team in Milan, which was the first group of girls on the Italian territory to implement the format in pink, I spoke with my friends and formed a team of volunteers each of which, with his professionalism and competence, it supports the activity of GGD Campania offering an opportunity to meet, network, emergence of aggregation and women of the territory.
The team at the moment include: Aurora Incardona, Roberta Bartoli, Mariarosaria Good, Viviana Capraro, Alessia Passatordi Menidi and Clare, all with one thing in common: they were born in the South The community women's Girl Geek Dinner includes all women passionate technology or otherwise working in the field of technology in the name of innovation.
The first team GGD was founded in Italy in Milan, followed by Rome and Urbino. Finally, thanks to your tenacity, was formed in Naples, where the interest in technology in all its nuances is not yet supported by adequate tools. This "delay" of the South than in the North Italy can be attributed to what? Good question ...
my answer is that it is a mix of many factors: culture, enthusiasm, interest and passion. In my view, the basis of everything there is culture. The "Digital Culture", Culture of the Net that has not yet been well tattooed on his territory. At the moment there is a sketch, an outline of what could be a beautiful color design and colorful, an impressive picture in a gold frame, a tattoo made with the best techniques in respect of the skin.
Here we are at a stage in which the pigments are still to be captured by the epidermis, the techniques of color have yet to be chosen, the final model of what it should mean the approach to an instrument that allowed a breakthrough in many fields professional, dedicated to creating of the other.
And then the other component is fear: the Internet and innovation are the new, is the future and have something to constantly work in progress. What you can not manage and control and requires constant updates involves a continuous effort and also training in the field. Not everyone has time and desire and are passionate to the point of focus to the knowledge of the innovation process that is characterizing our times.
You have defined the champion of the PC in pink, your attempt is to debunk the idea that women are less "technology" of men. " From 2007 (year of the first meeting of the Italian girl geek) to date, the male bias against women has decreased hi-tech? I believe that since the Milan team began its work, the situation has improved.
At least that's the perception I have, in the events industry. If before there were women on stage as speakers, there are now, of course, and we are still little but the whole thing is to begin the process of change in attitude and approach to the female figure and being able to grow over time.
Tuesday, March 8, I attended a workshop titled "Woman and Business" organized by NapoliBusiness. The testimonies of the speakers have been recorded: slowly, even old-fashioned companies that historically are born with a male management, today it is opening up to women to be secretaries, personal assistants and cleaning woman may, if capable, roles and high-level task management.
The change of direction, the opening up to corporate level playing these things take time and need it especially if implemented in reality rigid and inflexible to the female culture and digital. Among the most stimulating of a Girl Geek Dinner, you have ranked first in social networking, namely the meeting of the community during evenings dedicated to a specific theme, a great opportunity to cultivate new skills and friendships.
On 11 March from 19 to 22, to celebrate the month dedicated to us women, the issue of GGD Campania will be "the women and their stories on the Internet." Introduce a preview of the key points of the match. Winning the thrill of the "first time". Joke, but not so much. With the girls team have already pinned the items that will be the common thread running on the ladder.
Some things are certain. Presentation of the format and values \u200b\u200bof the logo which is a spokesman GGD. Team presentation and motivation of the chosen theme for the evening. Presentation of the collection of the contest in collaboration with 100tag and awarding of winners of photo contest "Geek Shots" sponsored by Kodak and Italy in collaboration with the Associazione Culturale Down * Box and photographic exhibition of 10 (+1 in ex aequo) most voted photos the jury that the backdrop to the evening.
In addition, the social networking, so it is advisable for participants to come equipped with many that they can exchange business cards and other little surprises that are still being defined. The program is available here: http://www. girlgeekdinnerscampania. com/2011/03/ggd-campania1-schedule / What are the objectives that the GGD Campania intends to pursue at least until the next meeting? The site http://www.
girlgeekdinnerscampania. com / site will be ongoing dialogue with the land and its women as well, being a reality online, with any woman who feels close to this initiative now common to many Italian regions. The site will be a small observatory on the development of cultural and technological processes of the female.
Act as an aggregator for women dedicated to the issues involved in the sector and will enhance the territorial and border pink universe as a collective interest. And it's long term goals, not just until the next meeting which I hope is taken before the summer holidays (June-July). Francesca give some advice to all the girl geek dinner listening: what are the online applications, devices or sites that use personally and would recommend them to the community? Which route should make a girl geek who wants to follow your own profession? Let's start with the second question which is angular.
My profession is journalism. I was born as a journalist at the time but my field is wrapped in the tunnel of crisis and when there are no positive signs ... Like many, I happened to work and also specializes in communications as a press officer to be responsible for web and today, chasing my passion, and my "stubbornness" as well as you've described, I found myself in roles of "event manager", "community manager" and "digital pr.
I am a freelance journalist atypical doubles me and I divide into several parts depending on the activities and roles that I have to hold or get in office. The only advice I can give my job is to take a lot of reading practice in the network than on other platforms: radio / tv and paper.
Journalism is learned in the field, and consuming the soles of shoes, otherwise. Everything else is nice reading taste. But journalism or communication are two paths to the same macro-sector that are undertaken only if you are highly motivated, but only if you have so much passion, especially at this dark moment with the industry that is experiencing significant job cuts and layoffs.
And it is a one-way uphill for more than three quarters and all the way carrieristico. App, devices, sites? I should write a book ... to be able to better respond to this question that appears simple but is complex ... the only advice I can give shopping status of technological equipment: buy yourself a trendy mobile phone but not for what features techniques satisfy your need to be reached.
Rather, two phone lines: one dedicated to work and another for private life (although sometimes you have to detach). For Apps, scaricatevi those which facilitate the existence and allow you to be informed in real time. But finding himself the space for the entertainment Apps. In this regard, I am reminded of a dedicated outlet for women on 8 March.
We reported on our website and for those who love women's magazines and their headings think it is funny in the "apps for free time": http://www. girlgeekdinnerscampania. com/2011/03/una-app-per-festeggiare-le-donne-l8-marzo /. In the end, I suggest googling and surfing on the net .... and see for themselves what is best for your needs.
You Neapolitan journalist and freelance: Digitisation has given a quantum shift in the publishing world thanks largely to social media, which have the great merit of making democratic information. Finally, the monologue of a single lot has been transformed into a dialogue open to all, with the ability to transform the viewer into the news editor.
What are your thoughts on this? The Internet has enabled a substantial shift in the culture of information and communication. However, in my opinion, this is not something final but something that is day by day and that is changing, albeit slowly, the structural processes of the production sector of the two branches.
One of the fields is facilitated by Internet e-Learning: virtual worlds platforms, learning platforms and diffusion of some universities offering video conferencing and allow to stay at home and at the same time to be present at a distance of kilometers. Many phenomena such as "Crowdsourcing" would not exist if there were the Web2.0, as we know it today.
However, be careful, "democracy" Digital does not mean that everyone can do everything and do it without rules, but it means access for all in all, following the etiquette and codes of conduct while meeting the line of off. Between life "analog" and "digital" should be integration. The integration of the instruments of expression "old world" and the "new world" is the only way, in my opinion, for the proper progress and development of digital processes and technology.
Today, having a blog, bloggers do not mean, as many mistakenly think, to write everything all failed to meet the basic rules of good writing on the net. The usual rules of web writing, and must be discharged to the sources, even if you are not newspaper. And if you share other people's productions, it checks the license under which that production was recorded.
Otherwise, you run into error and you are exposed to legal action with a production of negative rumors to the reputation, personal branding and web reputation. Readers, have this invitation to entrust their information in a network of sources. A good independent information can come from below, by the people who are more and more "prosumer" but we need eye in order to avoid plagiarism and a cross comparison with the classical information is a good exercise for assessing the trustworthiness of the blogger or of new and emerging on-line test.
"We give Italy a digital strategy" is the slogan of the appeal the party online by January 31. It calls for "100 days, proposal writing for organic Digital Agenda for Italy involving economic and social representatives, consumers, universities and those in this country, working in the forefront on this issue." ProgettoCampania2.0 has also signed this appeal: gaze into the future, do you really think that Italy can come out of his immobility political, social and economic? Giving space to young people, yes! Making a generational political change, yes! Sometimes I think that if the active online community was sitting in Parliament, the deadline for completing the works in the background "digital" would be much shorter.
That's because, because, unfortunately, despite the obvious benefits that the advent of the Internet has brought, the Web and especially the Web 2.0 is still a "something" so new that as all entities that do not know, do a little 'fear. Even so, the network as we know it today, it is difficult to manage and politicians, old style, all of this is (also) fear.
It is hoped that this initiative promoted from below, born during a dinner with friends, bring the desired result at the end and it is actually a stimulus for our political class. Francis, founder of the GGD progettoCampania2.0 and Campania, reveal to us now your objective for the near and distant future plans for the future ...
I have so many but I would say first that must be cultivated and grown. progettoCampania2.0 Campania and the GGD are just born and have a long way to grind their path ... But whoever takes the win! After the GGD Campania, the first of hopefully many, to be held Friday, March 11 to 19: 00 to Mumble Rumble, whose program you can see here: http://www.
