Rules Background

A service Jam is a cooperative gathering of people interested in a design-based approach to creativity and problem solving, and of course in service design. It is there to encourage experimentation and innovation participants come together without a team, without an idea and are given a subject or theme to incorporate in their new-to-the-world design while meeting new people. The Global Service Jam is a community of Jams taking place internationally over the same weekend. All the Jams share the same starting themes, and publish their local results over a central platform. The theme for participants in the Global Service Jam will be announced at 7:30PM (local time) on the Friday, and results must be shared by 3:00pm (local time) on the Sunday. Each local group has freedom to structure and manage the Jam to fit their local situation and needs (e.g. you can make your own version of the logo, see below). A few rules are in place for Organisers and Participants; if you want your Jam to be part of the Global event, you will need to follow these. Besides these rules, we hope that local teams will follow many of our recommendations so that we share a common experience and everyone can work on a level playing field.

Rules for participants Collaborate with new people - Please do not come to the Jam with a team. Everyone will have some time to think and pitch an idea. Collaborate with new friends or peers you admire. Be on time - Please show up to the Jam on time. Use your own tools - Participants will use their own tools, including hardware, software. We will provide wi-fi connection & stationary. If you need certain software, make sure you have it preloaded on your computer. When you come to the venue make sure you provide the serial number of your laptop to organizers. Sign up: individual and team - All participants need to sign up to the Planet Jam website and add themselves, their team and their project to the project database during the Jam. Be part of the conversation - Everyone says that one of the most valuable parts of the Jam is to be part of the online community. For the global communication amongst participants we use Twitter, among other platforms. Please add #GSJBangalore & #GSJ12 to your tweets, and tag ALL your pictures and videos GSJ12 so the world can see them!
