| 20, 21, 22 January 2012 - INSPIRE Centre, University of Canberra RecentChangesCamp2012 is an OpenSpace unconference focused on wikis and online collaborative practices. It has been held in Canberra twice so far, and held several times in other parts of the world. The main characteristics of the event are that it is free to attend, open to anyone, with a program determined on the day by those who take part. The aim of these events are to draw together people interested in worldwide iterative knowledge involvement or wikis, to discuss and share knowledge, and eat and socialise in a friendly face to face setting.

Another session was on the Use of Wikis for Online Consultation on Government Policy. Examples such as Kate Lundy's Public Sphere and Wiki Media's own strategy document were identified.

RecentChangesCamp events bring together people for a common purpose: discussing the past, present, and future of the technology and collaborative method that is wiki. RCC is a chance for everyone in the wiki community, to meet and have a fun, and have productive conversation about our passion for wikis of all stripes. At RCC, everybody is welcomed. You don't need to be an expert on anything, and you certainly don't need to consider yourself a geek. Collaboration thrives on diversity! All you need to bring is an open mind, and a willingness to participate, whether by teaching or by taking an active role in discussions. And, don't forget, an unconference is what we make it, so let's make it enlightening and fun. Sessions covering an array of interests Cross-Cultural Collaboration (RoCoCo, 2007 Montréal) Throwing and Catching Swords - Hypersensory Awareness for Better Community (2007 Portland ) The Evolutionary Edge of Software Development (2006 Portland) Using wikis for government processes (2008 Palo Alto) Wine tasting (2008 Palo Alto) Nonlinear conversations from the Glass Plate Game (2006 Portland) Who edits Wikipedia?
