[Asis-l] Early registration still open for Wikimania 2006

[Phoebe Ayers]

Registration is open for Wikimania 2006, the 2nd annual international
meetup and conference of the Wikimedia Foundation
(http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org). It will be held August 4-6th,
2006, on the Harvard Law School campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The conference will feature presentations from Jimmy Wales, Larry
Lessig, Brewster Kahle, Eben Moglen, Yochai Benkler, and  Clay Shirky;
along with some of the most active contributors to Wikipedia,
Wiktionary, Wikisource, and the MediaWiki platform.  Presenters and
attendees will discuss the present and future of Wikimedia Projects
(Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource and more); the dynamics of
Wikipedia and related communities; the publishing and verification of
encyclopedic information; and technical updates and Mediawiki hacking.

Wikimania will be a chance to meet some of the people behind one of
the extraordinary successes of the Internet - a multilingual volunteer
community of a hundred thousand people who are passionate about
creating high-quality free knowledge for the world.  For community
members, it will be a chance to meet fellow Wikimedians, learn about
what's happening today, and discuss current issues and the future of
the projects.

For others, Wikimania 2006 will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to
participate in shaping the future of Wikipedia and collaborative
knowledge production generally.

Early registration prices are good until July 9th. Register online :
