Our 2018 stand

When

In Brussels:
FOSDEM 2023 at 4 February (from 9:30 to 19:00) & 5 February (from 9:00 to 18:00)
Before Fosdem, all are welcome to meet some days earlier for talking, coding, having fun.

Where

FOSDEM will take place at the ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe, Earth.
https://fosdem.org/2023/practical/transportation/

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/Fosdem2023/CollaborationDevroomCFP/
One presentation is being prepared: FOSDEM23-Collab-Dev-Room-Tiki-Session (Thanks Jonny!)

Important dates

• December 10th 2022: deadline for submission of proposals
• December 15th 2022 or before: announcement of final schedule
• February sat. 4th 2023: 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.

Our friends at Xwiki have submitted a joint application for a devroom named « Collaboration Devroom ». https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Events/Fosdem2023/Collaboration%20devroom%20proposal/
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/Fosdem2023/CollaborationDevroomCFP/

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

Please submit your proposals at https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM23 before December 10th 2022.

If you already have a Pentabarf account (for example as a result of having submitted a proposal in the past), make sure you use it to log in and submit your proposal. Do not create a new account if you already have one. Please provide a bit of information about yourself under Person -> Description -> Abstract. When you submit your proposal (creating an "Event" in Pentabarf), make sure you choose the "Collaborative information and content management applications devroom" in the track drop-down menu. Otherwise your proposal might go unnoticed. Fill in at least a title and abstract for the proposed talk and a suggested duration. Bear in mind that a lot of the value in these meetings comes from the discussions, so please be reasonable regarding the duration of the talk.
