RecentChangesCamp was an unconference focused on wikis, held from 2006 to 2012. It was named after the "recent changes" feature that is found in most wikis.{{cite book |title=How Wikipedia Works |last=Ayers |first=Phoebe |author2=Charles Matthews |author3=Ben Yates |date=September 2008 |publisher=No Starch Press |page=[https://archive.org/details/howwikipediawork00ayer_0/page/78 78] |isbn=978-1-59327-176-3 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/howwikipediawork00ayer_0/page/78 }} RecentChangesCamp followed an Open Space model in having a program that was determined onsite by participants.{{cite web|url=http://2006.recentchangescamp.org/|title=Phpinfo|publisher=2006.recentchangescamp.org |access-date=2012-11-28}}
History
RecentChangesCamp was conceived at WikiSym 2005 as a way to replicate online wiki collaboration in the face-to-face world, using Open Space Technology, which enables participants to create the agenda on the fly, guaranteeing that all issues that participants were willing to take responsibility for were worked on to the extent possible.[http://2006.recentchangescamp.org/CampProceedings] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080114052256/http://2006.recentchangescamp.org/CampProceedings |date=January 14, 2008 }}
