Following WikiSym2005 we agreed to convene a wiki BarCamp in Portland Oregon February 3-5, 2006 to provide yet another great space for the community to gather for work and play! We're using OpenSpaceTechnology to create an event that is as open and accessible as possible. We chose the first part of 2006 in order to complement Wikimania2006 and WikiSym2006. RecentChangesCampEurope 2006 is a sister camp that will happen simultaneously.
