 Campus Party (CP) is a Lan party that was established in 1997 in different regions of Spain like Málaga, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca and is hold as the "biggest electronic entertainment of the world online"[citation needed]. In 2009 it moved also to other countries like Mexico as it did in 2008 with Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador. The most common activities of Campus Party are video games, Linux and sharing digital technology information. However, for its founder, Paco Regageles, [1] more than a Lan party, CP has a wider panorama including many other areas in a formative way like astronomy, robotic, simulators and many others in order to use technology for reach the most marginalized people as possible.
[edit] HistoryIn December 1996 the Youth Society EnRED had the idea of create small private LAN parties to be hold in the Youth Center of Benalmádena. On Andalucía the director of Channel 100, Paco Ragageles, saw in "La2" (a program of television), a report on cultural movements related to Internet. In 1997 Ragageles welcomed in Channel 100 in Málaga the group of EnRED from Benalmádena, a town of the Province of Malaga, Andalucía. They thanked Ragageles for promoting freely the first "Ben-Al Party", the original name. But Paco Ragageles proposed to the youth the founding of a LAN Party, a term that was little known in Spain at the time. The director of the Institute for Youth, Ricardo Tano, gave permission to the initiative to celebrate the first event in the installations of that institute. In April 1998 Ragageles helped the group to organize the second edition of the Ben-Al Party. After that event, a group of leaders composed by EnRED Youth in the technological areas, and Ragageles, Belinda Galiano, Yolanda Rueda, Pablo Antón, Juanma Moreno and Rafa Revert in what was commercial, decided to found an organization of a LAN Party with a wider proyection. In August 1998 the second edition got also a great attention from the Mass Media placing the event at a national level. However, some conflicts came out among the two areas, commercial and technicians and it caused that EnRED abandoned the proyect. After this, the other members founded E3 Future (E3 Futura), the one that would give the actual proyection either in publicity or in technology. [edit] E3 Futura E3 Futura was founded in 1999 with Belinda Galindo as the president. In August a group of students of some Spanish universities joined the proyect:
In September Manuel Toharia, one of the lectures in the Campus Party, suggested to Ragageles to make the event more international. Rogageles said to Toharia that he would like to have the honor of having the event in the "Prince Felipe Museum of Science" of Valencia. Luckily, Toharia became the director of that Museum at the following year and this was the reason why the dream of Rogageles became real in 2000. In May 2000 María Pilar Arguelleya, director of the City of Science and Art, got personal interest in the event and provided the support for its realization in the Museum, although in that year there were some works of inauguration that almost put at risk the Campus Party. In August of that same year the edition of the Campus Party became the biggest LAN party of Europe by participants connected online. [edit] DevelopmentIn April 2001 was founded the CampusT1, due to a division among the Campus Party in formative contents. The CampusT1, a separation of CP, became a summer university with the support of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. In July of that year it received 350 students in 8 different groups with two well-known personalities: Al Gore and Nicholas Negroponte. Incriptions for the CP 2001 were opened in May and the entrances were exhausted in only ten minutes (1,600 entrances). In August, during the Campus Party of that year, E3 Futura and Borja Adsuara, general director of the Ministry of Science and Technology, accorded the foundation of a Ciber-Volunteer Movement in the University Francismo de Vitoria in Madrid with an educational goal in the digital inclusion of marginalized people. In August 2002 CP changed the place due to the growing demand that reached 3,000 participants. In July 2004 CP reached more than 100 hours of formation, workshops and conferences. A great tend is installed on the campus of the Prince Felipe Museum (12,800 m²) and the participation of more than 4.500 persons. The event became the biggest concentration of PlayStation2 players of the world and the first Coca-Cola Movement. In February 2005 was founded the Campus Party Experience as a challenge to E3 Future to overcome the separation of the common citizens to the new technologies. In July the 9th edition is celebarted in the Fair of Valencia to hold the growing number of participants. The presence of Neil Armstrong was the most noticeable point of the Campus Party. In 2008 the Campus Party crossed the Atlantic Ocean to be celebarted in the Americas: the first in São Paulo in February and the second in Bogotá in June.
