Camp

The original RecentChangesCamp is now over! But we'll meet again at RoCoCoMontreal2007, in May 2007 in Montreal and at the RecentChangesCampPortland2007 event.

The rest of this wiki is destined to keep our memories of the event and forward the RecentChangesCamp in general

Invitation Synopsis

Please join us for RecentChangesCamp 2006 ... "Building communities worth having!"

You are reading this Invitation because someone wanted to see you at RecentChangesCamp 2006. RecentChangesCamp is an un-conference (BarCamp) of, for, and by folks who want to "build communities worth having" both online and off. This especially includes the OpenTechnology/OpenCulture movement.

We are coming together to make connections, write code, have fun, revise the CyberneticRoadmap, do as much good work as each and every one of us can … and then go home more connected, more energized and more capable of building great communities and the tools they depend on. Bring your friends and join a good party that's growing even better!

The Full Story

RecentChangesCamp is hosted by the Wiki community. Wiki is software that allows nontechnical users to freely create and edit Web content using their browser. The most exciting aspect of Wiki is that it truly encourages democratic use of the Web. We chose the first part of 2006 in order to complement Wikimania2006 and WikiSym2006 and to provide yet another great venue for the Wiki community and friends to come together to work and play.

As caretakers of primarily online communities, we (the Wiki community) are especially looking forward to cross-pollination with folks who nurture offline communities (ProcessArtists) and those who develop the OpenTechnology tools we depend upon to build our wikis.

Come to PortlandOregon or the LocationInEurope and find out!

Be Prepared

We are opening the RecentChangesCamp space for meeting, for learning, for connecting, for writing code … with no imposed limits or agendas - only the charge to come and learn and contribute as much as you can.

Agenda:

You can add to the agenda any issue of importance to you. It will be discussed and addressed to the greatest extent possible. All of the key points and next steps will be captured, and offered online, so that the entire OpenCulture/OpenTechnology community can benefit from our work.

Spirit:

We invite your presence, onsite and/or online. Please pass this invitation on to others you see leading and doing good work in OpenCulture/OpenTechnology and building communities both online and off. We need you to add your spirit to the many many connections that are happening now. Please bring stories of your progress, your skills and insights, and your passion for what can happen next.

Format:

This gathering is the product of many actions and connections. This space is an Invitation to make more of them, and more of us, flow more together, to the good. Participants will be smart, caring, creative and connected leaders, coders, organizers, activists and instigators. Beyond this, the space will be wide open for us to make good things happen.
