[[Image:WikimaniaLogo.jpg|left|80px]][[Wikimania]] 2006 was the second annual meeting for Wikipedians and anyone else interested in learning more about Wikipedia and/or wiki technologies in general.  Last year, we met in a very nice youth hostel in Frankfurt Germany and people from all over the world met, often for the first time.  Most people had an area of Wikipedia that they specialized in and the common thread was the enormous amount of time everyone devoted to making the site the success it is today.  This year, the meeting was in Cambridge, Mass at the Harvard Law School campus.  <small>([[Wikimania|more...]])</small>

The Second International Wiki Symposium, [[WikiSym2006]] is a conference focused entirely on wikis research and practice. Last year it was held in San Diego and this year it will be in Denmark!  It will be a great place to discuss ideas that really push the wiki envelope and because there will be a significant open-space component, you can be sure to have a chance to discuss topics that are important to you.  <small>([[WikiSym2006|more...]])</small>
