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.

WikiSym Location Information

Dirk Riehle — 2005-10-11T18:41:26GMT+01:00

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"

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.
