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.
Who does what
- Jyhem volunteers for keeping in touch with other projects and participating in the Collab Devroom (see below).
- Jonny Bradley submits a talk!

The location will be Citadines Sainte-Catherine Brussels like in 2020.
Anyone is welcome to book their accommodation there or nearby according to days of expected attendance!
Suggested TikiFest topics
- Share examples of elaborate Tracker usage. Discuss best practices for common use cases.
- Learn from other projects strength and weakness, for ex. Wordpress and Nextcloud (referring to the end product)

Actual TikiFest Topics
It was generally pretty relaxed, only three or four of us
- Jonny confused Jean-Marc and Roberto about his Vue.js project because he doesn't understand enough about it yet
- Jean-Marc fixed a bug
- Coffee (courtesy Citadines), beer and snacks were consumed
