WikiSym 2007 concluded!

WikiSym 2007 concluded on Tuesday with Ward Cunningham's talk on "Agile Trust, Wiki Nature, and Business Logic Futures." In the final closing circle of open space we all relaxed and shared our final experiences. A big thank you to Alain Desilet (conference chair), Robert Biddle (program chair) and Ted Ernst (open space facilitator) for running WikiSym 2007 so smoothly, enjoyable, and ultimately highly successful!

Peter Turchi, Tech Talks, Panels, Ward Cunningham and more…

It's Tuesday, and we are listening to Peter Turchi's both humorous and intellectually stimulating talk about physical and conceptual maps, the benefits of getting lost, and more. Today's final WikiSym day is full of activities, from the always-going-on open space through the tech talks and a the political panel to more invited talks like Kathie Sierra on Creating Passionate Users as well as Purbrick and Lentczner on Second Life (both courtesy of OOPSLA) and then of course Ward Cunningham's talk. For more information, please see http://www.wikisym.org/program.html

Jonathan Grudin's Keynote, Following Remotely

Jonathan Grudin is giving his keynote right now on Living without Parental Controls---please document and comment on the wiki-linked page. Also, if you are following WikiSym remotely, Evan Prodromou pointed out that there is a WikiSym IRC channel available.

WikiSym participation at about 120 people

WikiSym 2007 started today with 60 registered participants for WikiSym only, 37 participants for WikiSym + OOPSLA, and 5 participants for WikiSym Monday only. In addition, we currently have 123 All-Access-Pass participants who are roaming the conference freely and may pop in whereever they like. Since there is usually additional onsite registration, we can safely assume that we are now beyond 120 registered participants. A big early congratulations to Alain Desilets, the conference chair, and Robert Biddle, the program chair, for building this fabulous program and reaching out successfully to such a wide audience!

WikiSym 2007 started!

We are up and running! Alain Desilets opened the conference and Ted Ernst introduced open space to us, and the first day of open space and workshops is on its way! Wiki applications, wiki translations, usability, social impact, you name it!

Use of SnipSnap

SnipSnap is a great wiki, but it is a bit prickly with wiki page names that contain lots of special characters, e.g. @#$%@##->@, partly because of Internet security issues. I advise you try to avoid these characters and stick to plain text.

See you all on Sunday!

Welcome to SnipSnap

You can now login and add/edit your first post. There is a post blog link in the menu bar. For help with formatting your post take a look at snipsnap-help. To create a link to a page on your site surround a word with [ and ]. Putting __ around a phrase makes it bold and putting ~~ around it makes the phrase italics. You can create links to the internet by just writing the url like http://snipsnap.org or by using {link:Name|url}. So {link:SnipSnap|http://snipsnap.org} produces SnipSnap. Have fun.
