History: TikiFest2009-Montreal

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 😀

When

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.

Where

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

What

• Release technical release of Tiki 3.0! and Plan Tiki 4.0: please see RoadMap
• As jyhem and nkoth are there, I'll (amette) give an introduction to the new server and we can have a session about maintenance, upgrades, etc. Also discussing escalation paths and basic organization of system administration.
• Create a Support.Mozilla.com profile for re-using for other projects
