Hello. This year, August 24th and 25th (weekend), there will be the FrOSCon 2013 (Free and Open Source Software Conference) at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in St. Augustin close to Bonn (North Rhine-Westphalia). It is the eighth FrOSCon. Is there anybody who wants to attend with a booth or talk? Actually I try to organize a shared booth together with German Working Group Against Data Retention and German Working Group Against Censorship for gaining enough manpower. I intend to use this event for community building and maybe (hopefully) for preparing a TikiFest in the future.

Hi Frank, Personally I won't be attending but if you need help with anything please let me know. We also have the Tiki Banner that we have used in previous events. You probably saw it in some of the pictures. If you get a booth we can ship that over for you or maybe it might be a good idea to print another one. Have one banner over in Europe and one in North America and we can ship them around when needed for events.

Hello, During the Montreal-Ottawa TikiFest, Marc somewhat floated the idea of a future TikiFest which would del with issues which were postponed in Montreal for lack of time and concerned people. Namely, all discussions on hosting, systems administration, and monitoring. Basically, a lot of sysadmin stuff. An interesting idea was that we might be able to optimise attendance of interested Tiki community people by hosting it in Germany. Would FrOSCon 2013 be an occasion for what you had in mind, Marc ?

Yes, that is a perfect opportunity. In terms of sysadmin/devops/security, the ideal TikiFest would have at least: * Changi & Jyhem (Strasbourg, just next to Germany) * Amette, ohertel, Frank (in Germany) * Éric and Nelson (in Canada) * Greg M. & Pete J. (USA) And cover all these teams (at least): * http://tiki.or/Packaging+Team * http://tiki.org/Security+Team * http://tiki.or/Infrastructure+Team Best regards, M :-) On May 12, 2013 6:08 PM, "Jean-Marc Libs" <jea...@gm...> wrote: > Hello, > > During the Montreal-Ottawa TikiFest, Marc somewhat floated the idea of a > future TikiFest which would del with issues which were postponed in > Montreal for lack of time and concerned people. > Namely, all discussions on hosting, systems administration, and > monitoring.

Any event longer as FrOSCon will have to happen at another location. The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences will be available for the FrOSCon weekend only.

We do not have a local Tiki community yet for the organization. The idea was to build a larger community at FrOSCon to assemble the manpower for a Tikifest later. I'm not sure about organizing a Tikifest in connection (before or later) with FrOSCon 2013. Any ideas about that? Deadline CfP is in ten days, May 23rd 2013, if we want to partipate with a booth or project. -- regards Frank |

Just wanted to point out that the 2014 edition of WikiSym will most likely take place in Berlin, probably some time between August and October. This could be an occasion to do a second TikiFest in Germany. Alain |

I do not plan a bigger one, but just one at all - at least for the beginning it's one. ;-) I'm not concerned about the size of TikiFest but about lack of experience. What is expected to be organized, what cannot be supported remotely. This stuff has to be done. Actually and right now my local Tiki User Group consists of - eh - ah - one Person: myself ;-) We need at least cheap accomodation and some conference space with internet. If we do a small TikiFest, there might be a possibility to distribute the participants among some private hosts or in some kind of a (Youth) Hostel. Besides that some events along, just by way of variety, might be expected. I cannot organize the latter (but this might not be necessary, Duesseldorf is State Capital City with a lot of shebang around), but with some support of 'non Tiki people' around it could have a chance. Maybe it'd be a good idea to try and check, whether a small TikiFest is possible. I'd suggest the week after FrOSCon, because going there at the end of TikiFest... you can imagine by yourself. So... we're talking about last week in August. > I'd be glad to pass by and help man a booth.

One is an Acer, and the other ones left and right from that seem to be ThinkPads. Is this correct? Just for personal interest: how much was the percentage of usage of ThinkPads among the participants at last double TikiFest in Canada (+/- that time I became owner of one myself)? About the plastic posters: are there high resolution templates for professional printing? One member of the local hackers community has got connections to professional printing and experience. He's not in the job anymore, but surely he'll organize something for a reasonable price. Could this be paid by the TCA funding? (BTW: is everyone around here familiar with the term hacker in contrast to cracker, which is widely mixed up by US media?

We can organize a TikiFest independent from FrOSCon, but related in time for those ones who wants to join two or three days earlier. Be aware that this is just an experiment, I do not know yet whether it will happen or not, nor whether it will work or not. I need to talk to a lot of people off the records to help. But I see a tiny little chance to make it happen. I need a lot of support, first from you, the main question is: what needs to be done, what is the TikiFest organization todo list? -- regards Frank |

Hello Frank, I will help you organising and hosting the TikiFest. For August, we should check for other TikiFests, to avoid schedule -conflicts (for ex. if there would be a TikiFest Barcelona 4, which should have priority (and where I would attend). When the date of a German TikiFest in Summer stands firm, there could be considered to make a TikiCamp_2 ... 2011 Jonny Bradley and me and as visitor Jean-Marc Libs made the TikiCamp_1 in Strasbourg after the TikiFest_Strasbourg_2, as we together had a Tiki booth at the 12th RMLL (Rencontre Mondial du Logiciel Libre) in Strasbourg. ... The TikiCamp seemed to be a nice addition to a TikiFest (in summer) and a possibility for relaxed inexpensive hosting, where not a big free apartment is available. Setting up the booth was quite easy and there should be enough time to get the little amount of gear together. Very good would be to have a few T-shirts for sale and some nice presentation. Actually I am doing up a presentation for an Austrian customer project, which uses CartoGraf (made with Tiki as Framework), Tiki as a small extentabl Company Website, Tiki for an office-intranet and Roundcube as webbased IMAP client. The whole thing uses a nice slim aluminium design and I am sure, that this could be a good use-case-presentation for events like the ones above. Greeetings from Wü to DD, Torsten |

The image is the Wiki booth at the LSM http://2011.rmll.info/?lang=en in 2011 which happened right after TikiFest Strasbourg 2011 http://tiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=TikiFestStrasbourg2011 More photos are here: http://photos.jmlibs.name/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=75 I had planned a Wiki booth instead of a tiki booth after some suggestions of people we met in WikiFest Berlin 2010 So from memory on the right you see Jonny himself with the vintage Tiki shirt, in the middle local guy called Guy Brand presenting Dokuwiki and on the right a german guy from Mediawiki. So you see, we also shared a booth :-) We discovered later that Joomla had their own booth but too late to invite them to share. > About the plastic posters: are there high resolution templates for > professional printing?

The important thing is, that people know in advance so they can actually make travel arrangements and be there. Then it kind self-organizes, or ii follows the initial plan (if any).

This one here? http://www.wikisym.org/ Is this somehow related with open scientific publishing, which has been being discussed at some (a lot?) universities for the last years? IIRC the term 'Open Access' is involved, too - at least in Germany. If this connection is confirmed, I'd regard it as an interesting hook. -- regards Frank |

Actually, the conference is now called OpenSym, and it includes WikiSym, and other Open stuff. http://www.wikisym.org/category/opensym2013/ 2014 sounds a bit late for a German TikiFest, as there seems to be some interest brewing and we should leverage it as soon as we can. But OpenSym could be a good occcasion for a repeat of a (yet to be confirmed) 2013 event. Alain |

This is another important point to push freedom around. But we've got an early task right here *g* please look at this website: it's a WordPress... for a website with focus on (tada) *Collaboration* it should be a Tiki ;-) No, just kidding, it's fine. At least it's Free Software. :-) > 2014 sounds a bit late for a German TikiFest, as there seems to be > some interest brewing and we should leverage it as soon as we can. > But OpenSym could be a good occcasion for a repeat of a (yet to be > confirmed) 2013 event. I don't know whether it's too late or not. I'm quite a beginner, and maybe I'm too enthusiastic, and for sure I cannot pump the iron on myself. But I know we've got all the preconditions for an international community event here in Duesseldorf, and we just need to assemble it the right way - it'd be a sin not to do it or at least to try it. And if the local Tiki community will not raise to organize a TikFest, maybe it must be a TikiFest to create the local community. Two warnings ahead: - the date: There will be federal elections in September, and a lot of people usually available will be involved in election campaign, even when not member of political parties. - the "water": Default beverage in German pubs is neither water nor Coke nor lemonade, it's beer. Waiters in brewery pubs sell beer, almost nothing else. They sell local style 'Altbier' (please google that), no 'Pils', no 'Koelsch', no 'Weizen' and for sure no 'Guinness'. Besides the brewery pubs there are other pubs. They sell beer. If you're lucky and polite, you maybe get something else there... If there is anyone left whom I did not scare away yet, please let me know. Maybe we have some people around here interested in an TikiFest August 2013 Duesseldorf. BTW: I write Duesseldorf instead of Düsseldorf because some folks might have encoding problems, and common replacement for 'ü' is 'ue'. Anyone in Germany will understand this ASCII workaround. -- regards Frank |

Of course any kind of help at the booth is appreciated. ATM things are not clear, we didn't have got assembled a sufficient huge team for running the booth yet. There's only one week left to cancel the booth, just to be fair regarding organization team. Everybody in activism is engaged in the upcoming election end of September. :-/ -- regards Frank |

I tried do set up a mixed booth with three organizations, and we are three persons yet, and two of them did not yet tell me 'GO'. I doubt a booth is possible. I'm very close to cancel it, but I give it one more week to see how things develop. Next point is accomodation, I'm not involved in St. Augustin local possibilities. However, there are possibilities in Düsseldorf. Hotel in St. Augustin is IIRC ~40 EUR per night, but I'm going to travel with train each day. This are ~70km from Düsseldorf. Maybe I can organize a car. This means, accomodation in Düsseldorf is possible, too. Of course there is another possibility: accomodation in Bonn or Cologne. I do not know about details, but maybe you can find a cheap trade off between daily traveling and accomodation. > I would be also happy to stay some time afterwards and discuss > Tiki-related stuff. > > Who else mentioned interest? Torsten? Luci? There is a hackerspace in Düsseldorf, and there are chances to meet there during the non regular opening times. Internet (WLAN) available. There is a possibility for (non expensive) accomodation close to that location, and both are quite central in town. A few days after FrOSCon, Wednesday August 28th 2013, there will be the monthly FSFE Fellowship meeting at this location. I'm not sure about the language at this event (de/en), but usually switching to English is not too difficult. AFAIK there is no prepared lecture with German slides. This will make things easier. I suppose something like a "Mini Tikifest" would be possible. One day later, Thursday August 29th 2013, there is the monthly meeting of our local Düsseldorf Linux User Group (DLUG). This is an open meeting in a pub with open minded people and topics way beyond Linux only. Even if FrOSCon preparations for the booth are not best, we can have a time and share knowledge. Please let me know whether you want to join and have a little summer vacation and whether I should prepare something. -- regards Frank |

It seems that thre has not been any positive feedback on that side, what with people being on holidays and some parts of germany actually being rather far from the place (seems like everything is far from that particular place :-) ) Seeing how things don't seem to develop, I guess it's a "cancel"?

I do not see much feedback from Tikiers, so I do not expect any of them to be around at FrOSCon. There is a little chance (today's the last day) to run the booth, but I do not believe in it. Probably I'll cancel the booth tomorrow (Friday), because this is the one week left I was told not causing too much trouble for FrOSCon organization. I'll focus on the talk and on building Tiki community. It seems this is a difficult task. Some people start losing their fears now after a couple of months while I was talking again and again, and migration will eventually become successful. Sometimes I'm told Tiki is too big and sometimes it's too complicated. There is some invisible threshold before people become comfortable with Tiki. Maybe a TV commercial would help... -- regards Frank |

Friday early morning we made things that way. > pls see: tiki.org/FROSCON+2013 WTF? A page inside of Tiki just for FrOSCon? Great work, thumbs up. THX! The booth will happen, supported by activists against data retention, which is a topic supported by NSA and others this whole summer. However, the booth is a collaboration booth of three organizations, and Tiki is one of three, and we can show up there. Unfortunately, I cannot prepare a show case Tiki, because I'm out of time completely because of server fail problems. Even my test-Tiki (mentioned in the talk) is down. I will offer another real live production Tiki, if permission is granted by the project, but unless this happens (and independend from that) it would be cool to have demo.t.o available next weekend 24th/25/th August. OT & BTW: I need help with the map feature used there. This will be another thread. -- regards Frank |
