TikiFestMadrid

Image
A tradition in the TikiWiki community, a TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least 2 TikiWiki contributors that don't usually meet. This is an opportunity, usually, to drink adult beverages, 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 biggrin

Discovery of the day

amette : "ROFL - I remember wanting to choose some variable name, that most possibly will never collide with anything else. Well, apparantly I chose wisely: Google for myFooVarForIncludeFiles(external link)"

Offline Videos

Several moments from the first two days were recorded by Xavi in a video camcorder. The most meaningful parts will be uploaded probably to vimeo.com in the following days, before the next TikiFestMontreal.

List of video files in process of edition (directly included from TikiFestMadrid_videos):
This page is for coordination between Matthew and Xavi, both of which have a copy of the video files from TikiFestMadrid.

Video files with maybe useful information to be extracted and uploaded to video websites like vimeo

What

  1. The main issue will go to work with the Tiki Spain team on Workspaces
  2. Review the last release of AulaWiki for the Tiki 1.10, because it suffers from performance issues (already patched by Aldo, we guess).
  3. Fixing AulaWiki mod to work on Tiki 2.x and 3.x as a starting point. Mmod version 1.6.2 is working. See ToDo.
  4. Produce a simple video tutorial to show how to work with workspaces on Tiki
  5. Discuss/initiate a European User Group
  6. Matthew and Jonny want to tell everyone about their ideas for GroupMail(external link) and looking forward to input from everyone else!
  7. Further improvements for translators to prioritize the work. A sort of Dashboard with the most important pages (visits, editorial choices, etc) and a visual representation of up-to-date-ness.
  8. Youcef will present the main idea of transforming TikiWiki into usefull translation environment. Based on his experience in this field, he will introduce to us the recent progress of the Wiki-based and crowdsourcing translation.
