TechNet Wiki International Summit - What would it be like?
Durval recently joined the TechNet Wiki Community Council and will help us plan out the TechNet Wiki International Summit.
What would the summit be like?
What would the topics of the sessions be?
How many days would it take place on?
In what week should it take place?
Also, Craig made some Wiki T-Shirts and flyers for SPC. If we have a few physical locations (like maybe one in Redmond, one in Brazil, and one in Turkey), we can have a few things like T-Shirts, flyers, stickers, and the TechNet Wiki magazines that Durval mentions below. Do you have any specific thoughts about swag? What should we have? How do we make it happen?
Let's brainstorm! Let's give Durval some ideas!
Here is our update (still being added to) of our different ideas of what it might be like...
From Durval's interview (Interview with a Wiki Ninja and the Translation Challenge Winner - Durval Ramos):
- It could be an event to honor the principal authors of our TechNet Wiki and their Technologies, with these articles in a little "magazine" for all participants of the event.
- Some authors could show in practice how they created a solution that made it possible to write a winning article on TechNet Guru.
- Discussions with older contributors in the TechNet Wiki on the evolution of Technological solutions in collaboration with use of the Wiki (Network Articles), including a time of questions and answers ("open mic") for event participants.
- The experience of some MVPs sharing information via TechNet Wiki.
- The evolution of the TechNet Wiki as an alternative Solution Repository and expansion of knowledge in the Community.
- The effect of social networks (Twitter, Facebook and others) disseminating information from TechNet Wiki.
- Templates articles for various subjects and content (Forum solutions, settings, software development "step-by-step", etc.)
Thanks!

Thanks Ed!
I'm currently formulating these principles to present to the Community Council. In my last interview I presented some ideas. If anyone can provide more content will help us a lot !!!

I think you've listed some great ideas there Durval
I'm happy to help contact the various WIki groups, and beg for contributors if you need.
May need separate sessions for different time zones
May have to be weekends/evenings to fit around everyone's life commitments - Anonymous

Actually each idea is worth a conversation about it.
From Durval's interview: "It could be an event to honor the principal authors of our TechNet Wiki and their Technologies, with these articles in a little "magazine" for all participants of the event."
Would the event be virtual, like from Lync? It could be possible to do it in a few simultaneous locations (we could have some meeting rooms on Microsoft's campus) in addition to the Lync connections. - Anonymous

Durval: "The effect of social networks (Twitter, Facebook and others) disseminating information from TechNet Wiki."
One thing I'm very passionate about is using Social Synergy with TechNet Wiki articles. We have a series of blog posts about that:http://blogs.technet.com/b/wikininjas/archive/tags/social+synergy/default.aspx
So I'd love to lead a session about that and have a few co-speakers involved. - Anonymous

I think a great idea! My suggestions:
Number of days: 02 than 03 days
Week: Month of May or June
Sessions and Themes: How would people with Durval commented the most voted posts demonstrating how configured or made the subject. One-hour sessions. Also call MVP and Microsoft Evangelists, and partners.
Open to the general public in my opinion to publicize the work of the Technet Wiki. - Anonymous

Great XAML guy,
Separate presentations in different "time zones" is fundamental to the success of our first Summit.
Many contributors want to participate in their favorite technologies and we want everyone around Summit in convenient times for those who will speak and also to anyone watching. - Anonymous

Pituach,
I believe that we have more than 2 hours of the content, but I understand you about all the trouble to attend an event in the USA (cost, free time, passport, visa and other subjects).
In events like this, we have a wide variety of people. So it's likely to find other TechNet Wiki members and also likely other people that don't know what we do in our Community.
If you really cannot travel, you rest assured that We intend to make live video stream and record the key moments of the Summit. We will try to consider the "time zone" for all participants "registered" for the event. - Anonymous

Alan,
The summer is a good time to Summit, but many want to participate and this requires time to plan the event participation, a trip, ...
Anyway, are good ideas. Let's think ! - Anonymous

Durval and Pituach, I think it would mostly be a virtual (Lync) event, but we could have a few locations (Redmond, Brazil, Turkey) in case people are in town, so they can meet together. - Anonymous

Durval, actually passport is not a problem for me :-)
As much as I understood i can go to US at any time, and even work in US for up to three month ( I have another citizenship, which give me this option), but the rest of og the limitation that mentioned are correct. - Anonymous
