TikiFest is a tradition in the TikiWiki community. A TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least 2 TikiWiki contributors that don't meet usually. This is an occasion usually for drinking adult beverages getting laptops out and coding wildly in group sessions discussing 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 😀

5 days: FEB27, FEB28, MAR01, MAR02, MAR03, 2009 (in conjunction with the PHP Québec conference), where Alexander 'amette' Mette is going to present The virtualized server infrastructure of the TikiWiki community.

Offices of CGCOM.
85, Saint-Paul Street West, suite 240
Montréal, Québec H2Y 3V4

The event will be organized around 4 main groups. You may join one or many groups to help out. Or you can create a new group or work on your own project.

Marketing, Communication and Documentation

This group is responsible to attract people to our project.

• Release notes / Changelog
• Basic documentation
  • Feature list
  • How to upgrade
  • How to install

Out-of-the-box experience

Once marketing attracted people to our project, this group is responsible for making TikiWiki easy to use for new comers.

• Prepare 2-3 of the bundled profiles with appropriate themes
  • Small Organization Web Presence
  • Create a Support.Mozilla.com profile for re-using for other projects
• Testing the Happy path
  • Register
  • Lost password
• Types
  • Using the installer: InstallerRevamp
  • Fantastico installs

Development, release & packaging

This group is responsible for making sure version 3.0 is released on time and has the best/most features with the fewest possible bugs.

• Daily releases, branching, etc.
• Bug fixing

Sites & infrastructure

This group, also known as the DogFood group is responsible for making sure all the *.tiki.org sites & tool are running smoothly and helping the community be better organized.

Basic work

• amette gives an introduction to the new server infrastructure of doc/dev.tw.o.
• As jyhem and nkoth, who are planned as amette's backups are around, we are going to have a session about the setup
  • maintenance, upgrades, etc.
  • discussion of escalation paths and basic organization of system administration
• Upgrade dev.tiki.org, doc.tiki.org, etc. sites to 3.0
• Migration of themes.tw.o to the setup
• writing documentation of the setup on sysadm.tw.o

Enable the community

• What does the community need to work with the sites?!?
  • THINK PROCESS, NOT FEATURES!!
  • e.g.: ricks99 asked for an FTP-upload, because he used it on the old doc.tw.o site. This is a feature - but what is the process he wants to enable?!?
  • For themes.tw.o in particular, a way is needed to install theme files on the site (not just the bundled themes, but new alternative themes as they are made). FTP has been used for this in the past. (chibaguy)
• Improve community coordination tools like irc.tiki.org

The schedule is pretty loose. Come when you want. Add to the schedule below if you want to present/work on particular stuff
