New England Wikimedians may be interested in this upcoming talk at the Berkman Center in Cambridge. It will also be livestreamed for those (like myself) that can't make it.

*2/2 - Engineering Open Production Efficiency at Scale* *12:00pm, Berkman Center for Internet & Society * Wikipedia, largely used as a synecdoche for open production generally, is a large, complex, distributed system that needs to solve a set of "open problems" efficiently in order to thrive. In this talk, computer scientist Aaron Halfaker uses the metaphor of biology as a "living system" to discuss the relationship between subsystem efficiency and the overall health of Wikipedia.

Aaron is a really inspiring speaker! I would highly recommend meeting him if you can get a chance: he understands (and can articulate) very well how technology and social activities intersect in Wikimedia projects to create amazing impacts.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Yes, this will rock.
Our Berkman lunch talks are always Tuesday, but worth the trek out :) The provided lunch is decent too.
