| 1 | == Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power multiplied. (Robert Boyce) == | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Inspired by this, the XWiki community along with several other Open Source projects would like to organize a developer room to explore the theme of "Open Source Software for Collaboration and Content Management”, at FOSDEM 2022. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The devroom had a growing success since 2019 ; as such, we would be happy to continue talks on this subject for the edition to come. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | === This room is backed up by the following projects (in alphabetical order): === | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * Cryptpad - represented by Ludovic Dubost | ||
| 10 | * Nextcloud - represented by Jos Poortvliet | ||
| 11 | * Tiki - represented by Jean-Marc Libs | ||
| 12 | * XWiki - represented by Clément Aubin | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | === Why does it fit FOSDEM? === | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | * Free Software contributors are given an opportunity to understand and participate in collaborative software projects | ||
| 17 | * The challenges can be explained to a very technical audience able to provide suggestions and ideas | ||
| 18 | * Projects sharing common goals would get an opportunity to meet and start collaborating | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | == Talks and presentations == | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | Talks performed in this room could deal with the specifics of a project in term of the ecosystem (plug-ins, extensions, connectors, …), in term of distribution (i.e.: how the application is distributed to be used by most people) or explain how the project responds to use cases related to the theme of the room. Here is a list of potential subjects that could be used: | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | * New projects presentation | ||
| 25 | * Self-hosted platforms | ||
| 26 | * Secure collaboration | ||
| 27 | * Collaborative applications | ||
