Invitation Synopsis

*Please join us for RecentChangesCamp 2006 ... "Building communities worth
having!"*

You are reading this Invitation
<http://recentchangescamp.org/Invitation>because someone wanted to see
you at
RecentChangesCamp <http://recentchangescamp.org/RecentChangesCamp> 2006.
RecentChangesCamp <http://recentchangescamp.org/RecentChangesCamp> is an
un-conference (BarCamp <http://recentchangescamp.org/BarCamp>) of, for, and
by folks who want to "build communities worth having" both online and off.
This especially includes the
OpenTechnology<http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenTechnology>
/OpenCulture <http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenCulture> movement.

We are coming together to make connections, write code, have fun, revise the
CyberneticRoadmap <http://recentchangescamp.org/CyberneticRoadmap>, do as
much good work as each and every one of us can … and then go home more
connected, more energized and more capable of building great communities and
the tools they depend on. Bring your friends and join a good party that's
growing even better!

*What:* RecentChangesCamp
<http://recentchangescamp.org/RecentChangesCamp>2006 … Building
communities worth having
*When:* February 3-5, 2006
*Where:* PortlandOregon <http://recentchangescamp.org/PortlandOregon> and
LocationInEurope <http://recentchangescamp.org/LocationInEurope>
*Format:* OpenSpace <http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenSpace>The Full Story

RecentChangesCamp <http://recentchangescamp.org/RecentChangesCamp> is hosted
by the Wiki <http://recentchangescamp.org/Wiki> community.
Wiki<http://recentchangescamp.org/Wiki>is software that allows
nontechnical users to freely create and edit Web
content using their browser. The most exciting aspect of
Wiki<http://recentchangescamp.org/Wiki>is that it truly encourages
democratic use of the Web. We chose the first
part of 2006 in order to complement
Wikimania2006<http://recentchangescamp.org/Wikimania2006>and
WikiSym2006 <http://recentchangescamp.org/WikiSym2006> and to provide yet
another great venue for the Wiki
<http://recentchangescamp.org/Wiki>community and friends to come
together to work and play.

As caretakers of primarily online communities, we (the
Wiki<http://recentchangescamp.org/Wiki>community) are especially
looking forward to cross-pollination with folks
who nurture offline communities (
ProcessArtists<http://recentchangescamp.org/ProcessArtists>)
and those who develop the
OpenTechnology<http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenTechnology>tools we
depend upon to build our wikis.

   - What kinds of community do you dream of?
   - What do you need to build them?
   - What projects would you work on if you could?
   - What skills, resources, gifts and connections do you have to share
   with other community builders?
   - What would happen if you could get what you need and contribute what
   you have?

Come to PortlandOregon <http://recentchangescamp.org/PortlandOregon> or the
LocationInEurope <http://recentchangescamp.org/LocationInEurope> and find
out!
Be Prepared

We are opening the
RecentChangesCamp<http://recentchangescamp.org/RecentChangesCamp>space
for meeting, for learning, for connecting, for writing code … with no
imposed limits or agendas - only the charge to come and learn and contribute
as much as you can.

Agenda:
You can add to the agenda any issue of importance to you. It will be
discussed and addressed to the greatest extent possible. All of the key
points and next steps will be captured, and offered online, so that the
entire OpenCulture
<http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenCulture>/OpenTechnology<http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenTechnology>community
can benefit from our work.

Spirit:
We invite your presence, onsite and/or online. Please pass this invitation
on to others you see leading and doing good work in
OpenCulture<http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenCulture>
/OpenTechnology <http://recentchangescamp.org/OpenTechnology> and building
communities both online and off. We need you to add your spirit to the many
many connections that are happening now. Please bring stories of your
progress, your skills and insights, and your passion for what can happen
next.

Format:
This gathering is the product of many actions and connections. This space is
an Invitation <http://recentchangescamp.org/Invitation> to make more of
them, and more of us, flow more together, to the good. Participants will be
smart, caring, creative and connected leaders, coders, organizers, activists
and instigators. Beyond this, the space will be wide open for us to make
good things happen.

Registration (and Payment, potentially):
Before we're ready to take registration, we need to decide the
FeeOrFree<http://recentchangescamp.org/FeeOrFree>question. Please

they

FinancialAssistance<http://recentchangescamp.org/FinancialAssistance>for
those who are attracted to this conference but are not able to cover
