TikiFest Montreal - August 16-17-18-19 2008.

A tradition in the TikiWiki community, a TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least 2 TikiWiki contributors that don't usually meet. This is an opportunity for drinking adult beverages, getting laptops out and coding wildly in group sessions, discussing about wiki technology and culture, etc. depending on 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 😀

If you don't know/use TikiWiki but are interested in Open Source sofwtare, Content Management Systems, Wikis, Open data, Open knowledge and all things similar, please do join us! There is always space for some extra people! If you need a laptop, please indicate it on the the wiki page so someone will bring a spare.

When

Some people prefer weekdays, some week-ends. So we'll have both 😊 We don't expect most people to come 4 days though. If you can only come a short time, come Monday afternoon / evening for the party.

Where

• L'Escalier, 552, Ste-Catherine East , Montréal, Canada, just next to the Berri-UQAM metro station.

and

• online

What?

TikiWiki is amazing in terms of features, power etc. but what about UI? While it has improved in version 2.0, it's still weaker than other aspects. So we are holding a 4-day TikiFest with focus on UI to provide results and a roadmap about where we want to go with version 3.0
