TikiFest2013-MontrealOttawa


Tikifest Montreal 2013 Tikifest Ottawa 2013

What

A tradition in the Tiki community, a TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least two Tiki 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 😊

The majority of the most active contributors to Tiki will be present, with devs from 9 countries: Japan, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Israel, USA and of course, many from Canada.

When

Montréal: April 11-12-13-14, 2013
Ottawa: April 16-17-18-19-20-21-22, 2013

These 2 cities are a 2-hour train ride from each other

If you come for a shorter period (ex.: driving from the US), come towards the end, which will be the peak of everyone there. If you are travelling from far (ex.: Israel, Germany or Japan), you should come for two weeks and make that long flight worth it!

What to do for fun in Montreal and Ottawa/Gatineau

If you are from out of town and are planning to do some touristy things in Montreal or Ottawa, here is some info.

Montreal is a very fun and safe city with a vibrant nightlife and an excellent cultural scene. There will be plenty of folks there to help you find something fun to do.

Ottawa is a much more "sleepy" little town, but the planned site for TikiFest Ottawa is right at the edge of Gatineau Park, a great natural place. If you are into hiking, Alain will be happy to take you into its rolling hills for a nice walk (http://tinyurl.com/cdge6nj... bring good boots as it will likely be muddy). We might also have dinner one night at Château Montebello (http://tinyurl.com/d7td7s6). Bring a bathing suit if you want to use their really nice pool (http://tinyurl.com/ctm8hb4)

Hiking in Ottawa

People that would be interested in being shown around by Alain:

  • I'm coming in my hiking boots, so challenge me! 😉
  • I'm interested. When is the "Hiking day" ?
    • Nothing too challenging I am afraid. This is the Gatineau Hills not the Rockies 😉 — Alain
  • I'll have my hiking boots. I'd love to take the opportunity to grab a couple geocaches which sem to abound. Is this one into the Park you speak of?
    • Awesome - never GeoCached before, so this sounds like a good opportunity!
