Hello, everyone! I'm writing to invite Wikimania organizers and attendees to RecentChangesCamp in Montreal, 18-20 May 2007. Many of you have already received personal invitations to attend RecentChangesCamp Montreal; for those of you who we've missed, I wanted to send this broadcast message.

I realize this is somewhat off-topic; apologies in advance. Please feel free to chide me with off-list email if you find this invitation inappropriate.

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. The previous two RecentChangesCamp events in Portland have been extremely fun and interesting for participants.

RecentChangesCamp Montreal ("RoCoCoCamp") will be held in Montreal, Quebec from 18-20 May 2007. It will be a three-day conference with the agenda set by the participants, using [[Open Space Technology]].

We hope that RecentChangesCamp Montreal can provide a good "bookend" on the summer for people organizing or planning to attend Wikimania in Taipei. I think our "unconference" format is quite complementary to Wikimania, and that our casual atmosphere makes RCC Montreal a great place to test out talks or presentations for Wikimania.

If you would like to attend, please sign up on our wiki:

We're arranging lodging for a variety of budgets (from couch-surfing to the Hyatt). Travel to Montreal can be quite inexpensive; North Americans can find reasonable flights, and rail travel from the East Coast is both accessible and affordable. Europeans on a budget are especially encouraged to look at discount Transatlantic flyer Zoom Airlines.

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,

-Evan
