Wikicamp.in

Wikicamp is all about harnessing and understanding the power of Wikis. It is a one day event aimed to bring together the best minds from the Wiki/Internet space to talk about issues, opportunities and what the future and evolution of this valuable tool looks like. Crowd sourcing, Wisdom of crowds, User generated content and collaborative knowledge sharing have become the keywords of today's Internet. Wikicamp aims at demystifying these terms. The event will feature workshops, debates and keynotes on the present state and evolution of the wiki. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and President of Wikimedia Foundation will be attending the event. He will share with us the vision for Wikipedia and his experiences.
Cost: Rs.200 per person. It's a door donation to meet the expenses towards venue, logistics and lunch. It's still an unconference. Which means that each of us helps out by becoming a speaker or helping with the organizing or blogging/video blogging the event.
