https://fosdem.org/2020/practical/transportation/

Hopefully, we find a place for a TikiHouse as usual.

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 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?

TikiFest

As discussed during Roundtable-Meeting-2019-09. It would be great to spend more days together before Fosdem. Please update the above attendance table so we can plan suitable accommodation and travel plans.

Suggested TikiFest topics

• How could the tiki-check page design be improved while keeping in mind the page is both a useful standalone tool and some people's first sight of Tiki.
• Improvement of documentation and marketing
• How to recruit and train new consultants (for example for the German language market)
• Learn from other projects strength and weekness, for ex. Wordpress and Nextcloud (referring to the end product)
• …
