WikiSym 2008The “All You Want To Know About Wiki” Conference
WikiSym 2008
WikiSym 2008
The conference was held in Porto, Portugal — one of Europe’s most ancient cities, “home of port wine”
WikiSym 2008
There are many different bridges in Porto, this particular one was designed by Gustave Eiffel himself.
WikiSym 2008
FEUP (Engineering Faculty of University of Porto) hosted all official WikiSym events and sections
WikiSym 2008
More than 130 people from 21 different countries were talking on different topics
WikiSym 2008
Wikipedia was the largest topic to talk, of course.
WikiSym 2008
There were many discussions on intranet wiki: how it is implemented, adopted and used, what benefits brings in
* Confuence was one, but not the only implementation to speak of =)
WikiSym 2008

There were keynote sections— Very Very Wise People sharing their thoughts to (almost) silent audience
WikiSym 2008
Paper Sections, Workshops & Doctoral Space were conducted as quick-paced sequence of several speakers
WikiSym 2008
More informal formats were fulfilled with discussion
WikiSym 2008
OpenSpace format was successfully used to spawn great number of interesting topics
WikiSym 2008
Anyone with a topic in mind could write it down, announce and place it in one of remaining timetable slots
WikiSym 2008
We have found our most interesting and important discussions in OpenSpace sessions
WikiSym 2008
English seems to be WikiSym’s lingua franca, though it was a foreign language for most of people talked
WikiSym 2008
There were only 2-4 persons talked in a typical(spontaneous) OpenSpace session
WikiSym 2008
Deeper discussion requires some organization.How did OpenSpace organizers provide it?
WikiSym 2008
Participants can work on their starting thoughts individually — on Post-Its
WikiSym 2008
Groupwork is a integrational tool: for example, clustering Post-Its on whiteboard during discussions
WikiSym 2008
Meeting report is conducted in wiki and presented to participants thru projector

As a concluding result, WikiSym conference was useful & entertaining!
