Planning
Critical first steps:
- Let people know about the planning mailing list (see below).
- Set up a Wiki.
- Pick a date and location in San Francisco, CA.
- Frame the invitation.
Mailing List
click here to get the email address
To subscribe, send mail to click here to get the email address with the subject, "subscribe", then follow the instructions in your email.
Theme
Sister spaces, sister cities, sisterhood, yaya sisterhood, sister sites, joining, being on the same team, cross-pollination. Sister support. I got this idea from Ted talking about Abbe and Ward's passion for sister sites. I don't know how sister sites works in practicality, but we need a theme and Bay Area could benefit from the Portland sister camaraderie. -Kristin 10-17-07
Invitation
What about History? How did we get here? Tell our story.
Long Time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was a trip to WikiSym in a Wikivan. We couldn't make them do Open Space, so we decided we could roll our own. That's when Recent Changes Camp came about in 2006. Collaboration. Independence. Initiative. Look Ma, no hands. Can I do it? If you really want to.
Sponsorship
- AboutUs $3,000
- SolSeed.net $1,000
- wikiHow $3,000
Location Ideas
- Google- anyone have a lead on free space here?
- UC Berkeley
- Stanford
- Computer History Museum - Was a good location for Mashup Camp. Anyone know how to get it?
- SRI - Eugene would this work?
- Any actual SF locations?
- Citizenspace.us -- I think Wiki Wednesday's happen here. It's probably too small, but the CS folks might want to be interested/involved. --Evan 10:57, 22 October 2007 (PDT)
- Fort Mason -- fantastic place in Presidio with lots of nooks and crannies. Not sure if any of the theaters or such would be appropriate for a meeting of this size.
- UCSF Med school in Cole Valley so probably not much organizational affinity, but nice location
- Usf.edu Nice central location near Haight Street, probably reasonable prices, some possibility for org affinity
- Sfsu.edu Better affinity, kind of out of the way, hard to find food unless you like Olive Garden
- Newcollege.edu -- hippie/crunchy, probably would love our story, nice location in the Mission District, not sure of space
- Any of a number of high schools or other schools around the city. Probably will all be in session, though!
- Other ideas?
- As a grade schooler, we got to camp over night at Fort Point.
- Interesting, though we'd better check on this one. Fort Point is closed several days a week, last I checked, because of retrofit work on the Golden Gate above.
- Regardless of location, perhaps we could plan certain "field trips" around the area. The Internet Archive is housed in the Presidio, for instance.
- As a grade schooler, we got to camp over night at Fort Point.
Number of Attendees Estimates
- List your guess here so we can do a "wisdom of crowds" consensus estimate.
- 200-300. Will be larger than previous RCC's due to large SF tech population. Or should we try to keep crowd size limited to focus mostly on wiki communities? - JackHerrick 17:57, 18 October 2007 (PDT)
- No clue, but the last wikimeet here, on less than one week's notice and no fixed agenda, had upwards of twenty people in attendance, and doubtless many of the "maybes" would bother to turn out. Dvortygirl 21:57, 18 October 2007 (PDT)
Past Lessons
Past events
Evening Activity Ideas
- film: Lady in the Water -- Kristin Webb-Tomson (how can there be a show and are there copyright issues? What if we invite M. Night Shyamalan) I think this movie talks about Open Space and wiki. (Wha...? I think it does not, except maybe in a really metaphorical sense. --Evan 10:49, 22 October 2007 (PDT))
There's also the film: At the Second Traffic Light. Last I heard it costs $500 for the filmmaker to come and show the film and facilitate discussion. Not that we need a discussion facilitated. This film talks about prejudices and overcoming those challenges in order to get a new perspective on the people around us.
WikiVanning
- How do we get people from Portland to Bay Area? Rent bus? Rent train car? Where to stay? Want energy of staying together. Late night talking important etc etc
