Tiki Fest Fosdem 2020


https://fosdem.org/

FOSDEM is a free event that offers open source communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

It is renowned for being highly developer-oriented and brings together 5000+ geeks from all over the world.»
Jyhem has attended for 7 years in a row and confirms that it's huge, it's chaotic, it's fun, and well worth attending.

Most of everything is in English.

When


In Brussels:

  • FOSDEM 2020 at 1 February (from 9:30 to 19:00) & 2 February (from 9:00 to 18:00)
  • TikiFest before (January 29-30-31st)

Where


FOSDEM will take place at the ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth.

Transportation


Hopefully, we find a place for a TikiHouse as usual.
"TikiHouse" will be at the J-M+Jonny's place?

Why

... would we want to be there?

It's fun, there are plenty of talks about Libre/Open-Source topics, there are a lot of interesting people to meet who are active or interested in Libre/Open-Source topics, it's an occasion of getting the word out about Tiki and adopt good ideas from other projects ;-)
Plus, we could take advantage of being together for renting a TikiHouse and having a TikiFest.

What

... are our options?

  • We should submit talks which showcase the power of Tiki for the « Collaborative information and content management applications Devroom ». That gets Tiki and the speaker visbility during Fosdem and also forever after: the talk slides and video stay online on Fosdem's site.


The Call for Participation is here: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Events/Fosdem2020/DevRoom/CFP/

Important dates

  • December 9th 2019: deadline for submission of proposals
  • December 15th 2019 or before: announcement of final schedule
  • February 1st 2020, in the morning: devroom day

Who does what

  • Jyhem volunteers for keeping in touch with other projects and following up on any submissions we may want to do about a stand or anything at Fosdem. I did it before and I know that's enough occupation for me.

  • Torsten brings the Tiki display (banner) and if necessary a projector (no tv/computer screen this time, as travelling by bus) -> does a projector make sense to use at a stand/booth, if we will have one?
    • we will have no booth/stand this year

  • Improvement of documentation and marketing
  • How to recruit and train new consultants (for example for the German language market)
  • Learn from other projects' strengths and weaknesses, for ex. Wordpress and Nextcloud (referring to the end product)

Our friends at Xwiki have submitted a joint application for a devroom named « Collaboration Devroom ». https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Events/Fosdem2020/DevRoom/CFP/
Description: Power, today, comes from sharing information, not withholding it. (Keith Ferrazzi). Inspired by this, the XWiki community along with several other Open Source projects would like to organize a developer room to explore the theme of "Collaboration Software and Collaborative Uses of Open Source Software”, at FOSDEM 2020.

This means we should submit talks on the following topics!https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Events/Fosdem2020/DevRoom/CFP/

  • New projects presentation
  • Self-hosted platforms
  • Secure collaboration
  • Collaborative applications
  • Connectors & Integrations
  • Knowledge management techniques
  • Protocols for collaboration


Jean-Marc Libs has submitted a talk :
« More than one tool for collaborating on writing the Tiki CMS »
This talk reviews the many collaboration tools used by the Tiki community for writing knowledge management and collaboration software
