The Wiki Wednesday of September 2nd, 2009 was energetic and productive, building on the plans begun in the last meeting. 11 people attended: Pete F., Mark D., Steven W., Kotra D., Dave M., Teresa B., Ward C., Ian O., David G., and newcomers Oliver Ortiz (of dotcal.com) and Ted (User:Tedder of Wikipedia).
We continued our discussion and planning of two major projects:
- Establishing a Portland Wiki
- Planning for a Portland wiki conference in 2010
Most of the meeting was consumed with planning for the Portland Wiki. Needs were identified, ideas were explored, and (perhaps most importantly) everyone took on a task or two to try to complete by the next meeting. Next meeting we are hoping to bring laptops and have a fun "working" session to create some good, brand-new content for this new wiki.
During the latter part of the meeting, there was planning for the Portland wiki conference (tentatively, or formerly, named RecentChangesCamp). This planning shared the same method (and white board, which Pete likes to call the "wiki on wheels") as the planning for the Portland Wiki, and several of us volunteered to take on tasks for it as well. One interesting intersection between these two projects is an idea (Ward's?) to have a large-scale, guided editing session where conference attendees would, individually or in groups, build content to the Portland Wiki, creating entries for anything from coffee shops to local nonprofits to payphones.
We also talked about:
- Oliver's venture, dotcal.com, and how online calendar systems could intersect with, or be, wikis
- ?
Donuts from Voodoo Doughnut, potato chips, cheetos, pretzels, soda, beer, and cookies were all consumed. Because we hate our bodies.
