You're invited to Recent Changes Camp! RCC is scheduled for May 9-11, 2008 at the Socialtext offices in Palo Alto.
RCC is an informal barcamp-style conference focussed on wikis. Previous incarnations have been held in Montreal and Portland, Oregon. Wiki enthusiasts and members of all wiki communities are welcome.
As the invitation says:
RecentChangesCamp was born from the intersection of wiki and OpenSpace - a very wiki-like way of organizing gatherings. A lot of cool people into wiki, community and collaboration will be there - what do you want to talk with them about? Every participant is invited to lead their own sessions; the guideline is to take responsibility for what you love. In addition to general and technical conversations about - and actual coding on - wikis and other software, session topics from past RCCs have covered subjects from art to social organizing to philanthropy, playing a creative conversation game, and individual & group coding practices. See the past conference wikis for more complete lists and session notes.
Anyone and everyone is invited to attend. You will especially enjoy Recent Changes Camp, if you happen to be any of the the following: * Member of any open wiki community or someone who uses wikis at work, school or in any other context * Interested in community, action, collaboration, creativity or any other activity in which the self-organizing power of wiki might be helpful * Interested in the OpenCulture and/or OpenTechnology movements * Interested in knowledge creation and sharing knowledge * A generally curious and inquisitive person
RCC is also looking for volunteers! You can sign up, get more information, and help with the planning here: http://rcc2008.blueoxen.net/
I hope many members of the Wikimedia community can make it! Post your questions on the wiki, or I can help answer questions -- just let me know. best, Phoebe
The Web 2.0 Expo is around the corner (tomorrow), are they going to be any Wiki*edia things going on there, either official or unofficial?
Dang, wish I could contribute to this project.

Looks like no. :)

Maybe none of us can afford it! $1,595 for on-site conference registration. Looks like we will have to be content with actually making web 2.0 useful instead.
