the XWiki TeamWe’re hosting an XWiki Meetup at OW2 conference, in Paris, with talks from our clients at SNCF Mobilités (National Society of French Railroads), plus a talk from our CTO, Vincent Massol, about the latest development in XWiki 9.x and 10.x.
What is the XWiki Meetup?
The XWiki Meetup is a great opportunity to interact with the people developing XWiki and the ones that have chosen it for their information intelligence needs. Even more, we want to learn what future features you would like to see in XWiki, so we will launch a debate in which you can decide the future of XWiki. Exciting, isn't it?
Also, as the meetup is part of a larger event, you can meet lots of other interesting people and attend talks at the conference. See the full schedule here. OW2con'18 is the annual Open Source event bringing together the OW2 community, technology experts, software architects, IT project managers and decision-makers from around the world.

A representative from SNCF Mobilités
In order to respond to the new needs one unit in the SNCF group, XWiki SAS migrated one of their knowledge bases from MediaWiki. This project involved the creation of new procedures for the platform's information management, a new blog, a new media library, and PDF export.
As a whole, the project contributed to the establishment of a pleasant, manageable and secure platform for the diffusion of technical recommendations and improvement of the productivity of maintenance agents.
