Thanks a lot for the feedback, Mayo. At this point, I think I can anticipate that we are going to circulate a short questionnaire among WikiSym attendees to gather feedback and useful comments that may help us to prepare the best possible event next year.

Stay tuned!

Hi!
Thanks Felipe for the rich report!. Congratulations to the organizational committee for doing a great job!. I would add to the (already very rich) report some lines on how Wikysim could evolve and improve in terms of politics of knowledge and access. I think (and other participants also pointed out) that it is contradictory that Wikisym papers (though ACM) are published under Copyright. I think our research generation has to push as far as possible for open access in Academia, and in this regard, stress the importance of it in front of ACM. Then, the high fee (in contrast to other Academic conference) difficult the accessibility of the conference for doctoral researchers (particularly those coming from non-rich universities or countries), perhaps a flexible fee adapted to the country of origin of the researcher could help in this regard.
Thanks again! Mayo

Hi, paolo. Unfortunately, we couldn’t. This year there was no AV equipment available for the conference. Definitely, something else to improve for next year!

Indeed, it’s always risky to write posts very late at night

In the following:

“We decided that it was a good idea to search for synergies with another important conference celebrated every year: WikiSym 2010.”

I think you mean Wikimania 2010, not WikiSym

“another important conference celebrated every year: WikiSym 2010″

I think you mean Wikimania 2010.
