What is a Tikifest ? It's a tradition in the TikiWiki community. TikiFest happens when there is a meeting between at least 2 TikiWiki contributors that don't usually meet. This is an opportunity to chat with people in person, get some laptops out and code wildly in group sessions and/or discuss about wiki technology and culture while drinking some adult beverages (ok, it means mostly having a beer in a pub after hard day work/brainstorming), etc. depending the mood and context. It is great for Tiki users and Tiki power users to meet some of the developers and learn more stuff

This TikiFest is being held November 12-13-14-15-16, 2008 in Montreal, Canada, the following days after the WebCom Conference and is being focused on Branding+Marketing, Design and Look & Feel.
