Draft: for planning purposes only.
WikiSym '08 is a conference, with research papers, practitioner reports, and panels from leading laboratories throughout the world, rigorously refereed by an all-star program committee.
WikiSym '08 is an UnConference, with an exciting slate of OpenSpace sessions designed to tap the incredible expertise and ability of WikiSym participants. New sessions, demos, and presentations are being added constantly, and will continue to be added right through the end of the conference. But it's never too early to plan!
WikiSym '08 is an Open Conference: on September 11, we take WikiSym into the streets of Porto for a WikiWalk encounter. WikiWalk is an ideal opportunity for informal discussions on topics of mutual interest, and also an opportunity for WikiSym people to interact with Porto's vibrant intellectual community and new media industry.
