Abstract

This report presents a summary of WikiSym 2011, the 7th International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration that was held in Mount View (CA, USA) on October 3-5, 2011. The symposium was hosted by Microsoft Research at their Silicon Valley Campus. Andrea Forte, from Drexel University, was the Program Chair and I took the role of General Chair. As in other previous editions, WikiSym 2011 was the meeting point for researchers, practitiones, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts from the whole world interested in open collaboration and its related technologies. The 2011 program included a packed agenda of keynotes, presentations, panels and workshops over the 3 main conference days. The Open Space, and unconference track in WikiSym, promoted further personal interaction among participants with a free agenda of face-to-face meetings set up and conducted by attendees. This report includes a conference review, mainly from my personal notes and first-hand impressions over these days.
