==Description==
This wiki is being used to organize the Recent Changes Camp meetup in Portland, Oregon February 3-5, 2006.


We are coming together to make connections, write code, have fun, revise the [[CyberneticRoadmap]], do as much good work as each and every one of us can … and then go home more connected, more energized and more capable of building great communities and the tools they depend on. Bring your friends and join a good party that's growing even better!
