the XWiki Team
This year begins with one of the best conferences about free and Open Source software - FOSDEM. During two days experts, enthusiasts, and volunteers from all around Europe gather and share their insights into topics related to Open Source.
Over the past FOSDEM editions, we noticed that even though the event hosts plenty of developer rooms dedicated to development or infrastructure solutions, there are very few devrooms dealing with use cases impacting both technical and non-technical individuals, such as knowledge or content management.
Therefore, we have managed to create and coordinate such a room. Here's an insight into the topics that will be tackled in the Collaborative Information and Content Management Applications Devroom:
1. A Private Cloud for Everyone
Jos Poortvliet will talk about why you should care about privacy and how Nextcloud builds a private alternative for your data.
Time: 15:00 - 15:20
2. Who Needs to Know? Private-by-design collaboration
Aaron MacSween will discuss about who must have access to your data by focusing on private-by-design collaboration and CryptPad.
Time: 15:25 - 15:45
3. Tiki: Easy Setup of Wiki-Based Knowledge Management System
Jean-Marc Libs will talk about how you can use Tiki for building up a knowledge management system.
Time: 15:50 - 16:10
4. Displaying other Application Data into a Wiki...and other Integrations
Ludovic Dubost will be there to show you how to display other application data (such as Elastic Search, Matrix/RIOT, Nagios, Cacti, JIRA, Databases) into a Wiki.
Time: 16:15 - 16:35
5. LibreOffice Online - Hosting your Documents
Michael Meeks will discuss about how you can avoid giving your documents to a large proprietary company and yet enjoy powerful collaborative editing of documents.
Time: 16:40 - 17:00
6. XWiki: a Collaborative Apps Development Platform - Build applications incrementally on top of XWiki rather than coding them from scratch
Are you planning to develop a new application from scratch? Anca Luca will explain to you how to use XWiki's features so as to assemble them in a brand-new application.
Time: 17:05 - 17:25
7. Vishkar - a CMS for Structured Content
Raja Renga Bashyam will tackle the issue of creating structured contents in a modular way.
Time: 17:30 - 17:50
8. Memex: Collaborative Web-Research
Oliver Sauter will discuss about the (im)possibility of building the perfect knowledge management tool.
Time: 17:55 - 18:15
9. CubicWeb Linked Data Browser Extension
Nicolas Chauvat will present the Web Extension that makes your browser capable of handling RDF data so that you can surf the Semantic Web and choose how data is displayed and how you interact with it.
Time: 18:20 - 18:40
10. Document Redaction with LibreOffice
Muhammet Kara will talk about preventing leakage of sensitive information by redaction in collaborative environments.
Time: 18:45 - 19:00
Moreover, if topics like Legal & Policy Issues or Design pique your curiosity, you can join Cristina DeLisle and Ecaterina Moraru in their discussions. Cristina will explain how the data protection rights are enforced by the OSS model, by analyzing some of the technologies that have arisen from this ecosystem (such as Wikis), while Ecaterina will get involved into an open discussion about the difficulties that might appear when more designers contribute to Open Source projects.
