Foswiki summit begins today and lasts until tomorrow. Did you know that you can participate from your home computer remotely? Yes, you can.
One goal of the Foswiki community is to be open and transparent. That’s why we try to incorporate all technical means available to help you join the summit from your remote desktop.
Here is what you can do:
- Join our IRC chat
That is where we expect the most activity and documentation, because this is the channel we use most often in the day-to-day community communication.
- Read the wikipages on www.foswiki.org
We will try to document and update the wiki regularly. You can monitor these changes by looking at all changes in all webs.
- Ride the wave
Some of the summit’s participants are fond of Google Wave and will try to use it for our conference live documentation in addition to other channels.
- Etherpad for live text collaboration
The service etherpad.com offers live text collaboration that is much faster than Google Wave and more powerful than IRC chat. It will turn out during our sessions, if this is going to be utilized a lot. Thank you to Colas Nahaboo for the tip.
- uStream live video
It is unsure if the web connection in hannover and our technical equipment will make it possible to offer a video stream. But if so we will. Find out on the IRC chat what the current state is.
Get current infos on foswiki.org
We will maintain this wiki page about RemoteFoswikiSummitParticipation to keep you in the loop of how to interact with us through the mentioned channels. Check that page now for more info.
We are looking forward to virtually meet you for our first Foswiki Community Summit.
