TikiFest2009-Madrid

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 😀

Xavi plans to bring a spare laptop to test an easy way of streaming for TikiFests like this one through ustream.tv. If anybody else can bring a webcam (any one of those whi are attending the next TikiFest2009-Montreal ), more of us can have they computer ready for streaming if needed at any further tikifest. 😉

• Well done Xavi - looks good. I've signed up (as jonnybradley) and will have laptop with webcam with me (you mean they still make ones without..? 😬) so can try and stream a 2nd angle (bandwidth permitting). I can't make it to the next one sadly but will try and help in what ever way i can.
• We will bring one webcam more (at least).Don't worry about bandwidth, there will be enough in the university. It's going to be really funny to have a live video streaming for this. Great idea Xavi!
• We have been trying to broadcast something from the university connection, and the quality of the video we get with ustream is not very good. Do you know another platform

for video broadcasting?

• Xavi: Besides quality, did you get sound + chat shown?
  some Spanish universities block irc channels from inside their firewalls, and ustream chat channel, for instance, is not available from inside the university campus. Are irc or ustream chats shown ok from university of uah?
• Xavi: I haven't tried myself, but months ago some tiki devs were suggesting to use http://www.dimdim.com . Moreover, some people at the last Moodlemot in Barcelona were using http://sclipo.com

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"

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

2. Review the last release of AulaWiki for the Tiki 1.10, because it suffers from performance issues (already patched by Aldo, we guess).

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 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.
