Activities

  • How to improve bug reports, bug fixing and development workflow using team notifications
  • Tiki Theming and best practices
    • Bootstrap as used in Tiki
  • Advanced usage of Tiki Plugins especially Plugin LIST training (Jonny?)
    • Please yes +1
  • Code sprint to finalize the Tiki 14 and 15 Bootstrapizing ?
  • Some Tiki promotion for central Europe / Czech Republic people ?
    • We can book local club (need to check soon if it is still free in that week) in theater for $50-150 USD for a public presentation(s) of Tiki - details: http://www.divadelniklub.cz/o-klubu/ (czech, Kč 1000 (CZK) ~= $50 USD) Alternatively we could will do just a small one in local Library, Museum or Pontopolis Center...
  • Some nature trip(s) and/or sightseeing to clear our heads off the code
  • Lot of freshly milled coffee and local brewery beers! ;-)
  • In the end of the week there is two day multicultural music festival we can visit and enjoy: http://www.colourmeeting.cz/?_=en
  • If there is interest, Jyhem could make a half-day crash course on Tiki-D3.js integration. If even more interest, we might brainstorm about D3.js Tiki plugins for pie charts or bar charts (this latter part would certainly be best after pluginList training or where would the data come from?)
    • Cool, +1!
      Yeah +100 !
  • Tiki.org sites rejuvenation
    • Upgrade info.tw.org to Tiki 14
    • Plan and do some content reorganization
    • Implement and enhance Organic Groups Addon
    • Plan and enhance streamlined notifications
  • Possible topics for discussion/action:
    • Making the site header (navbar) more responsive - strategies to feature-ize easy site header/navbar admin. Can the "super-module fluffy" do it? Or is some template revision needed? Can multiple menus be combined, or alternative menu types be available ("slidebars")?
    • Should dropdowns of all menus open on hover rather than click? (So Bootstrap and Superfish menus behave the same.)
      +1
  • gezzaz topics:
    • discuss about moving to Zend Framework 2 (also ZF3 comes soon)
    • how to have a drag&drop, visual, easy-to-use tracker screen editor, screen schemes, etc using bootstrap grid, listplugin and other tools already in Tiki
    • CRM as an addon
    • dashboards/metrics/reports
    • translation via transifex and turn languages into addons
    • addon "marketplace" (maybe create addon.tiki.org)
  • more ideas welcome! ...

What power plugs are used in Czech Republic

CRW 9554 CRW 9555 CRW 9556

What we need to figure out

  • data projector (to be borrowed or gezza can bring one if he comes)
  • white board
  • do we need to buy/borrow a coffee machine or a couple of french-presses will make it?
  • Torsten will bring the Tiki banner
  • Tiki shirts are on the way! (thanks Marc)

How

How to get there, etc.
If we all meet in Prague, there is no worries how to get there as we will go by train all together most probably.
Anyway, we can add some tips how to get there for the adventure souls who wish to get to the destination on their own ;)

Transportation

  • International flights to Prague, Vaclav Havel (formerly Ruzyně) airport. luci can pick up people at the airport if the timetable of ppl's arrivals is reasonable. (As everyone seems to come on their own and stay few days in Prague prior to going to TikiFest, luci will not pick up ppl at the airport). See Prague section below on how to get to the center and around.
  • For People coming from Europe, here are some travelling options:
    • Bus (cheaper) to Prague (or Brno - luci can pick up people only in one place though, so Prague seems the most probable destination for abroad people ;-))
    • Train (more comfortable) to Prague (or Brno, same note as above)
    • Own car or bike (Torsten ? ;-))

Prague

To move in Prague (you will need some little cash probably so maybe first get some CZK (Czech crowns or Kč), especially to get from the airport (There should be some ATMs at the Airport at gate D (Terminal 1).):

Accommodation

Pre-TikiFest (Prague)

Some people will come 1-2 days early so lets put some accomodation options for Prague here...

There will be one shared "TikiHouse" in a village close to Polička at least for up to around 6-8 people available. Other options depend on the number of participants.
