History: TikiFest2008-Montreal
Preview of version: 9
codeFest PHP Quebec 2.1
Table of contents
Schedule
May 16th-18th 2008
Location
- Montréal, Canada and online
Background
"Codefest" or "Tikifest" events generally have the following goals:
- To raise awareness amongst the broader coder community of selected projects/topics.
- To increase volunteer participation in these projects and train new coders.
- To network with users to discuss how to meet real user requirements.
- To actually code something during the event.
The only difference between a "Codefest" and a "Tikifest" is that the latter is more focused on wikis, while the first could be on more general web content management or Web 2.0.
For example, at the January 08 Codefest held in Montreal, the topics were "Microformats" and "Wiki Translation". For Microformats, a number of CMS added or enhanced support for it, and support for hCalendar was added to TikiWiki. For "Wiki Translation", we had a workshop to define user requirements and the overall plan of the project.
Reports of that event: Montreal Tech Watch - Microformats Montreal Tech Watch - Wiki Translation
Target audience
- All TikiWiki community members within driving distance of Montréal
- If you are not yet using TikiWiki but curious/interested as to how it could be a good tool for you, this is a great opportunity to get lots of answers from a bunch of fun people 😊
