Wikimania recap |
Editor's note: Due to publication problems, the Wikimania report from last week arrived late. It is available here.
This week, the Signpost considers the substance of Wikimania.
Wikimania is the annual conference of the Wikimedia Foundation, and an international meetup for community members from all Wikimedia projects. It is a community gathering, a research conference, and a social event. Wikimania is a chance to meet other Wikimedia community members from around the world, and to interact with others outside the community — technologists, librarians, publishers, journalists, businessmen, activists, teachers — who care passionately about the issues surrounding wikis, collaborative projects, reference works and free knowledge.
The first Wikimania was held in August 2005, in Frankfurt, Germany. This year's Wikimania is happening from 4 August to 6 August on the Harvard Law School campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This week's article will focus on Wikimania 2006 and on ways to participate. In coming weeks we will focus on some of the great speakers and events planned for 2006.
