Learning from Wikipedia: Open Collaboration within Corporations
Dirk Riehle, who leads the Open Source Research Group at SAP Labs in California, will discuss the structure, processes and governance of Wikipedia at talk the future® 2008.
Wikipedia is the free online encyclopedia that has taken the Internet by storm. It is written and administered solely by volunteers. How exactly did this come about and how does it work? Can it keep working? And maybe more importantly, can you transfer its practices to the workplace to achieve similar levels of dedication and quality of work?
Meet Dirk Riehle on September 5th, 2008, 2 p.m: Case Study Social Software Wikipedia: A community knowledge-base beats traditional encyclopaedias.
