TikiFestBigBlueButton

A tradition in the Tiki community, a TikiFest is a meeting between Tiki contributors (that usually only meet online). This is an opportunity, usually, to socialize over drinks, get some laptops out and code wildly in group sessions and/or discuss about wiki technology and culture, etc. depending the mood and context. It is a great opportunity for Tiki users and Tiki power users to meet some of the developers and learn more stuff

The main topic of this event is to improve both Tiki, BigBlueButton and the interaction between the two. ))BigBlueButton(( is an open source real-time collaboration tool. (Audio/Video/Screensharing/Chat), which is built upon several open source components and with a focus on distance education.

Tiki5 offers a built-in integration with ))BigBlueButton((. You can try it out now at: http://live.tikiwiki.org/
