What

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 many countries.

It is part of a larger event: WikiSuite Unconference 1

When

Friday September 7th to Wednesday September 19th 2018 (12 days).

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 traveling from far (ex.: Israel, Germany or Japan), you should come for two weeks and make that long flight worth it!

Who

What to do for fun in Montreal

Default UX patterns in Tiki

18-21h30

• Isabelle Montminy makes fantastic designs for some Tiki-powered projects. But in some cases, it leads to significant changes from the Tiki default. And thus, it's more work. How about we change the defaults in Tiki? Let's discuss.
  • So we can start thinking about this, if it's not too much trouble, can we have some examples of defaults or general problem areas that may need changing?
    • Wiki actions: Some are buttons, some are in the Action drop list, some are within the More button
    • Forum design: Especially the inability to include a forum (not simply a list) within a wiki page.
• Dates: September 14th and 15th (when Rick is here) There are no dates where both Rick and Isabelle are available so we need to pick something else
• Essential participants: Isabelle, Rick, Benoit Roy, Gary, luci
  • If possible: Bernard, Michael

Afternotes

13h-18h ClearOS, Openfire and Tiki integration

• Mailing lists without Mailman, using only Tiki, ClearOS groups and ClearOS email accounts: http://wikisuite.org/item22
• Issue with sessions (Jean-Marc)
• Openfire app for ClearOS
• Screencast to Tiki to replace jCapture
• If users are managed in OpenLDAP, how to handle use cases where users register a new account via Tiki?
• XMPP chat logs searchable via Tiki. How?
• Multiple ClearOS instances in a cluster (Elasticsearch, Openfire, Gateway to web server, etc.)

ClearOS Openfire Notes from the discussion

• ClearOS Openfire app: add the most frequently used settings
• We need to decide what is our strategy for identity management
  • https://www.keycloak.org/ ?
  • https://simplesamlphp.org/ ?
  • https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/README.md ?
  • Source: Tiki db? ClearOS ?

ClearOS Tiki Notes from the discussion

Tuesday September 11th

This will be held at:

• Faculty of Engineering & Computer Science, Concordia University
• 1515, Ste. Catherine West, 2nd Floor, Room EV 2-309

Security hardening in WikiSuite (ClearOS, Tiki, Openfire, etc.)

10h-12h

• More secure default settings (ex.: Tiki's security.ini, ClearOS 2FA for phpMyAdmin, etc.)
• How to improve the situation when a vulnerability is found? Ex.: The Expose Intrusion Detection System permits Custom rules via the admin interface. This could permit to add a temporary rule until upgrading Tiki to a version which includes a proper patch.

Wednesday September 12th

XMPP / WebRTC sprint on September 8-9-10-11-12 with Dele and Guus from XMPP: Openfire + Pàdé + Converse + WebRTC: Jitsi Meet

Realtime collaborative editing

• Victor, Guus and Marc discussed the various options like TogetherJS, WOOT, etc. to have real time collaboration on various features (mostly wiki pages, but we want it as much as possible on other features like trackers and spreadsheets). Unfortunately, Dele and Jonny were not at the discussion because of a scheduling conflict, so the discussion will continue but here is a high-level report:
  • Conclusion: The server-part of TogetherJS should be handled by Openfire (there is a debate on exactly how to do it, but this is the general plan)
    • TogetherJS was started by Mozilla, and they later stopped investing in it: http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2014/09/professional-transitions.html but it's still running: https://togetherjs.com/
      • They later tried Firefox hello, for which they discontinued support: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hello-status
      • TogetherJS is already integrated in Tiki: https://doc.tiki.org/PluginTogether
      • Victor knows the client-side code of TogetherJS and he says it is good

The plan:

• Openfire will become a TogetherJS-compatible server, which is useful even without Tiki or ClearOS
• Not a lot of code to manage
• Will work on all features
• Easy to integrate in any web app

  Jonny Bradley wrote:

  How about we do a session at the TikiFest (like an afternoon?) to get TikiConnect enabled by default in Tiki 19 and then we can see what's actually happening out there? Mostly just needs a bit more in the installer, oh, and some better reporting and visualisation of the (anonymised) data... but would be fun!
  https://mother.tiki.org is on new server, running trunk and ready to go!
