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.

We have agreed to join our friends at Xwiki and NextCloud and submit a joint application for a devroom named « Collaboration and Content Management ».
The devroom « Collaboration and Content Management » was accepted! We have the best slot: Saturday (full day)!
Call for Participation: Collaboration and Content Management Devroom
This is the call for participation in the FOSDEM 2025 devroom on Collaboration and Content Management, to be held on Saturday, February 1st 2025 at the ULB Solbosch Campus, in Brussels, Belgium.
The main goal of this devroom is to discuss and present new software, tools, techniques, and methods when it comes to building Open Source software for collaboration. Over the past years, with challenges on EU digital sovereignty following COVID, the ecosystem of Open Source collaborative tools has seen a significant growth. This has uncovered new areas of discussion and challenges :
- Protocols for interoperability between collaboration platforms
- Empowering users with new ways to collaborate securely (zero knowledge collaboration, sovereignty)
- Technical solutions to provide support for multiple collaboration platforms to work together
This year, we are looking for contributions under the form of conferences, talks, or discussions covering one of the topics above, or any of the following :
- New projects presentation
- Self-hosted platforms
- Secure collaboration
- Collaborative applications
- Connectors & Integrations
- Knowledge management techniques
- Protocols for collaboration
- …
We hope to provide an opportunity for everyone to meet and exchange about collaborative issues encountered while using Open Source solutions ; present some tools used for content management and discuss global solutions for incentivizing collaboration.
