Confirmed October 8 (Sunday), and 9 (Monday) and 10 (Tuesday), 2017

On October 11th (Wednesday), some will still be around to work on Tiki, and some will take a day off (tourism)

Schedule

TikiFest schedule to be determined.

Also, people may want to do some sightseeing within day-trip range or travel farther in Japan, before or after the Tiki event.

What

• Celebrate the 15th anniversary of Tiki (October 8th 2017)
• Branch Tiki 18.x LTS We will branch later, so we'll focus on cleaning up trunk
• Design
  • Discuss approach for Bootstrap 3 to 4 update
    • http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2017/08/10/bootstrap-4-beta/
    • https://themes.tiki.org/Bootstrap+3+to+4+transition
    • We discussed the factors for an early upgrade (get nice features like Flexbox early, have early adapter status, etc.) and against (incompatibility with external libs such as Bootstrap Tour); decided to use an experimental branch to see how easily modifications can be made, to evaluate whether to upgrade earlier or later.
  • Review new style guide feature
• File and directory structure revamp: we made progress
• Strategic discussions about Tiki19-20-21 cycle
• Think Long Term: Taking the Tiki Community to the level (by Marc)

Where

Gary's house will be the TikiHouse (in Yotsukaido, Chiba, Japan - about an hour outside of Tokyo, between Tokyo and Narita airport). We are moving house soon (to another place about a kilometer away), but the current house will be available for the TikiFest.

Accommodations

Everyone is more than welcome to stay at the TikiHouse. There will be room for all as long as sleeping (on futon) on the floor is ok. 😉
