1: ==Power, today, comes from sharing information, not withholding it. (Keith Ferrazzi)== 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 "Collaboration Software and Collaborative Uses of Open Source Software”, at FOSDEM 2020. 4: Considering last year's devroom success https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/collaborative_information_and_content_management_applications/, with most talks having the room fully packed and never less than half full, we estimate that the session will be well attended and appreciated. 5: 6: ===This room is backed up by the following projects (in alphabetical order):=== 7: 8: * Cryptpad - represented by Ludovic Dubost 9: * Nextcloud - represented by Jos Poortvliet 10: * Tiki - represented by Jean-Marc Libs 11: * XWiki - represented by Clément Aubin 12: 13: ===Why does it fit FOSDEM?=== 14: 15: * Free Software contributors are given an opportunity to understand and participate to collaborative software projects 16: * The challenges can be explained to a very technical audience able to provide suggestions and ideas 17: * Projects sharing common goals would get an opportunity to meet and start collaborating 18: 19: 20: ==Talks and presentations== 21: 22: Talks performed in this room could deal with the specifics of a project in term of 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: * New projects presentation 24: * Self-hosted platforms 25: * Secure collaboration 26: * Collaborative applications 27: * Connectors & Integrations 28: * Knowledge management techniques 29: * Protocols for collaboration 30: * … 31: 32: ==CFP process== 33: 34: If this developer room proposal gets accepted, we will be using the following process for our call for participation: 35: * //**Before October 5th**:// A page will be created on www.xwiki.org allowing anyone to register to the developer room; 36: * //**December 9th, 23.59 UTC**:// End of the call for participation, to leave 5 days to review the calls for participation and prepare the schedule of the room; 37: * //**December 10th to December 15th**:// Projects backing up the developer room get to agree on a schedule; 38: * //**December 15th (or before, if time allows)**:// the full schedule of the room is published. 39: 40: 41: ==Special requirements:== 42: 43: Last year devroom (UD2.119) fitted the crowd quite nicely but we had to refuse people because the room was full on multiple occasions. A bigger room would resolve that problem. Even more, due to a high volume of submissions and limited time, we had to turn down talks & presentations. This could be easily solved with more time reserved. 44: Our preference is for 6 hours or a full day, on Saturday. 45: 46: Please do not hesitate to get back to us if you need more information regarding our application.
