MattisManzel 2005-05-15 10:16 UTC: k, I won’t make WikiWoodstock rightaway, pages can easilly be moved there in some days. Let’s rather collect some ideas.
It would be nice when people could easily enlist for the WikiWoodstock. Crossing some fields on a template: I would join in translation from language y to z, I kown to program in language x and y++ and would be interested in tinging on theme a,b d and l. - submit. On wiki-Woodstock, sure. I never organized a wiki-festival like this before.
LionKimbro 2005-05-15 10:10 UTC: Rock on, Mattis!
I’m there.
Though, I would have scheduled it out a little further- 1 month away is a bit short notice. We can get word out more, give people more time to prepare, get things set up better, if we have a little more time, I suspect. But perhaps for a first gathering, it should be quick & dirty.
I made a space for things people may want to meet about. Please, by all means: more. :)
I’m thinking an Community:OpenSpace -like format. On Friday evening, perhaps, negotiate out the specific time blocks for Saturday and Sunday. People wheel and deal and sign up on a wiki or MoonEdit page. We have have multiple times for the same thing, if people can make one but not another.
We should also have a technical team, staffed by 1-3 people, available in real-time by e-mail, telephone, skype (or teamspeak?), Jabber, and IRC. Take shifts, tag team it, so we can go to the meetings that we want to participate in.
We should probably also have a dedicated wiki for the event, and prepare the wiki nicely before-hand. We’d want to focus it on: Downloading necessary technology, getting in touch with tech support, and getting in touch with other participants. We will probably want to request/endorse/require things like: Use IRC while negotiating meetings. I mean, the goal is explicitly to get everyone in the same room together. Then the groups that form can meet by whatever technology they choose. I’d endorse MoonEdit for minutes, and IRC for conversation. Make sure rooms are botted with loggers. Tech team help people who need it, ASAP.
Hm,… Just sorting through the ideas…
MattisManzel 2005-05-15 10:34 UTC: Great. tech-team: “Watch out, the rss-feed they’re selling on port 8080 isn’t clean”.
Quick&Dirty as like that we can get WikiWoodstock2 going for wikimania 2. - 4. August 2005.
wikiWoodstock1 is topic on Ting26 I guess.
