Women's Wiki Camp

Let's gather in person to learn about wiki, chat about participatory theory, share feminist SF, and wiki up a storm.

wanted: gatherings in SF Bay Area and (NYC or Boston)

questions:

• proposed dates? I'm thinking August or September ... is that enough time to plan?
• should blogging also be included?
• women only or also boys?
• better name? WoolfCamp is already taken! LeGuinCamp has a lot of syllables. OTOH, Women's Wandering Wiki Workshop & Virtual BiCoastal WisCon has even more syllables but might be good.

• barcamp ("BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. Rules: Attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. This is called sharing and we like it.")
• brainjam, the unconference community ... What are brainjams? ("A BrianJams event is an unconference which combines knowledge networking and confersations in open spaces. We strive to bring people together from Non-profits, Technology, Business, the Arts and Government to share our insights and experiences to accelerate the pace of postive change and innovation in the world. The organizing principle of each event is separate from the format. While each BrainJams event can focus on different topics, the principal focus of our conversations at present is on how real people are using emerging social media tools (i.e. Web 2.0, citizen journalism, blogs, podcasts, social bookmarks, open collaboration, etc.). ... Some people have pointed us back to the idea of the Chautauqua from the beginning of the 20th century. We like that approach and hope to learn a lot from what they did back then, but if BrainJams is somewhat similar in any regards, it is also quite different as a result of the application of Open Web technologies.
