Hello,
This message is especially for wikipedia users that would be close to Metz in july (9/10/11) http://wiki.ael.be/rmll2003 while the 3rd Libre Software Meeting will take place.
With libroscope team, we are leading a topic on � Le libre, au-del� du logiciel (Extending Free Software principles beyond the IT sphere) �
http://wiki.ael.be/rmll2003/index.php/FreeSoftwareBeyondIT
I am looking for a wikipedian speecher for this theme.
As a lurker^H^H^H chaotic contributor to wikipedia there are a lot of points that makes me think wikipedia is legitimate on this point :
- sharing the knowledge using mechanisme closed to
libre software methodology (letting anyone contribute and using peer review)
- benevolent dictatorship model (Hi jim) with
trusted lieutenant (like youssefan, alvaro, aoineko, ant ... for the one I know) ;
- focusing on user and the ease of use rather than
technology ;
- making contributor have good practice by social
engeneering (discussion, NPOV..) rather than with software implemented rules.
web/email centric coordination (the virtual roof)
from Kaos Management to Knowledge Management ;)
a living proof wiki technology can give large
scale structured website :) : you don't need complex technology to build large KM database.
The last point is the one I really like : focusing on peopleware seems to be a far better approach than focusing on a pure technological approach to build such a large scale project.
Anyone interested, and available ?
I have missed some points I know, and I would be glad to discuss it with you.
PS as a matter of fact, I guess that wikipedia is such a rich project that it could be appropriate to do more than one speech :)
As an individual I would be really interested in a conf on the architecture and the technological aspect though it is not the topic I work on.
PPS je parie que �a va se terminer � pas d'heure au bistro encore :)
Ah ben vin djou, je v'nais juste de me servir une Maredsous...(dans le verre ad'hoc, achet� � Anvers il y a des ann�es...)
B�, merci de me lieutenatiser :-) Fi�re je suis :-))
(tu t'y connais en �pilation ?)
Right. It is awfully interesting...especially the [[human capital]] perspective...though I don't see quite well what Kaos means ? (chaos, I do).
However, I am living quite far away from Metz...and working thoughout july. Perhaps one of the belgian people ? Youssef is the best pick here !
Talking about Youssefsan...we very deeply regret to announce wikipedians we have not been retained for "Les Troph�es du Libre".
This is quite insulting :-). We simply were the best choice. Perhaps they thought we were too good...
