WikiSym is over!

WikiSym 2005 concluded on Tuesday, Oct 18. Thanks to everyone who participated! We (the organizers) feel greatly encouraged by the positive feedback we received, so we are working towards a WikiSym 2006 (please comment). This wiki will stay here as a document of WikiSym 2005 and remain editable as long as you use and need it. From the outside, please use the URL http://wikisym.org/ws2005/wiki to link to it. We encourage any visitor who wasn't at WikiSym 2005 to read up on the session notes and we hope to see you at WikiSym 2006!

WikiSym Location Information

From Ralph Johnson, chair of OOPSLA: "The San Diego Town and Country Resorts is a different kind of venue. The grounds are filled with rose bushes and swimming pools. There are lots of places to sit and talk… it can be confusing at first… it is easy to find your way around once you figure out the geography… Richard Gabriel has collected some useful information for getting around and you can find it at http://dreamsongs.com/OOPSLA2005/OOPSLAInformation.html"

Help with research on corporate wiki uses!

Prof. Ann Majchrzak (University of Southern California) and Prof. Christian Wagner (City University of Hong Kong) are asking for your help in assessing corporate uses of wikis. Please see their survey request and gain a chance to win an iPod!

WikiSym welcomes Google

We would like to welcome Google to the Wiki Symposium, both as a corporate sponsor and in the form of Shashi Seth, Lead Product Manager, Google Search, who will join the Wikis in the 'Consumer Enterprise' panel. Shashi is helping Google apply the power of wikis and community to search and will talk about it in this panel. Please also note that the two panels The Future of Wikis and Wikis in the 'Consumer Enterprise' have been switched around in the schedule.

WikiSym mailing list

We set up a mailing list to keep you informed about WikiSym, the Wiki Symposium. This mailing list provides late-breaking information on the current symposium and will also be used to announce WikiSym 2006, once its time has come. The list is expected to be low-traffic and is moderated. Please consider joining the mailing list at http://www.wikisym.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wikisym-announce

Social Events before/at/after WikiSym!

The big social Event of WikiSym is the Monday evening reception. However, utilizing the power of the wiki, WikiSym participants are organizing further events like WikiVanning to San Diego down from Portland, see Social Events. Feel free to add your own!

Welcome to the Conference Wiki!

Welcome to the WikiSym 2005 conference wiki! We hope it will provide useful information and will help us and you organize ourselves at the conference. You can use the links on the sidebar to navigate some standard information. You can also use this wiki to organize BOFs or other activities. Feel free to get started, after all, this is a wiki and everyone with good intentions is invited!
