I apologize for the off-topic message, but I think it would | be of interest to most people interested in Wikimania, and I'd hate to | see anyone miss out because they didn't know about the event. I'm | writing to invite you to this year's RCC in the Bay Area of Northern | California. | | http://rcc2008.blueoxen.net/ | | RecentChangesCamp is a world-wide "unconference" for wiki technologists, | wiki users and wiki admins. Also invited are people from related | technology and community practises, as we look for common ground on | community, collaboration, and self-organizing behaviour. The event is | free of charge for all participants, thanks to our generous sponsors. | You can read more here: | | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RecentChangesCamp | | RecentChangesCamp 2008 will be held in Palo Alto, California from 9-10 | May 2008. It will be a three-day conference with the agenda set by the | participants on-site. The emphasis of RecentChangesCamp is on bringing | together smart, talented people for productive, peer-to-peer talks. | RecentChangesCamp uses a process called Open Space | (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology) to organize and | focus discussion. | | This is the fourth such event in three years. (The others have been held | in Portland and Montreal). Many Wikimania participants also attend RCC. | If you haven't been to one before, ask someone who has; feedback has | been uniformly great. | | If you would like to attend, please just add your name to our wiki: | | http://rcc2008.blueoxen.net/attendees | | If that seems crazy, you can sign up on Upcoming: | | http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/473283/ | | ...or Facebook: | | http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=14409100277 | | Please check out our wiki if you have any questions; also feel free to | contact anyone in our all-volunteer organizing group. You can write to | me directly or call my cell phone (+1-514-554-3826). | | Thanks for your patience, I hope to see you at RCC 2008! If not, then in | Alexandria! Or both! | | -Evan
