Thanks to everyone who helped and who participated!
The 2005 International Symposium on Wikis brings together wiki researchers, implementers, and users for the first time. The goal of the symposium is to find a voice for the community. The symposium has a rigorously reviewed research paper track as well as plenty of space for practitioner reports, demonstrations, and discussions. We are honored to announce that Ward Cunningham, the inventor and host of the original WikiWikiWeb, will present the opening keynote talk at WikiSym 2005. He will be followed by Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, speaking on Wikipedia in the free culture revolution. Anyone who is involved in using, researching, or developing wikis is invited to WikiSym 2005!
Participation in WikiSym gives you access to the whole WikiSym program from Sunday to Tuesday, including the OOPSLA keynote on Tuesday morning by Robert Hass, former U.S. Poet Laureate and current Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, on creativity. It also gives you access to all workshops on Sunday and Tuesday. (Some workshops may require invitation by the organizers, see the workshop description.) For tutorials, you have to register separately, see registration below. Included in the price are coffee breaks as well as the evening reception on Monday night.
