On 3 & 4 February 2018 we've participated to FOSDEM 2018, the annual Open Source Developers’ European Meeting.
We've joined forces again with Tiki and FOSWiki and had a stand, where we shared information about our project, made demos, gave away stickers and other goodies. Lots of people were interested in XWiki, which is always nice to see. Talking face to face with our users and contributors always sparks interesting conversations and we have the FOSDEM crew to thank for making this possible.
XWiki SAS sponsored 12 XWikiers to participate to the event and 6 of us held 8 presentations around XWiki or other general interest topics. Here are some videos recordings from the event:
| Video | Speaker | Track | Presentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vincent Massol | Testing and automation | Advanced testing in action on a Java project | |
| Ludovic Dubost | Community | XWiki: a case study on managing corporate and community interests - 14 years of Open Source in a Small Co. | |
| Ecaterina Moraru | Open Source Design | Icon Themes - Reusable icon variables and mappings for customisable user interfaces | |
| Vincent Massol | Lightning Talks | Addressing the long tail of applications | |
| Ludovic Dubost | Lightning Talks | Tips & Tricks to finance an Open Source Project without selling your soul |
Vincent shared more about his experience at the event, while you can also check what people tweeted about #xwiki.
FOSDEM is an event we always look forward to, so see you next year!
