the XWiki TeamAs some of you might already know from our tweets, Ludovic, Anca and Clement will be traveling to San Francisco between the 12th and the 20th of October. They're looking forward to meeting contributors and friends from the area, so let them, or us, know if you want to grab a coffee and exchange ideas.
Moreover, if you want to roll up your sleeves, you can join them at the hackathon hosted by Noisebridge, on Saturday, 20 October. The event will start with a presentation about CryptPad, our end-to-end encrypted realtime collaboration tool, followed by the hackathon on CryptPad and XWiki, the Open Source software.
The host will be Steve Phillips, creator of CrypTag & Cypherpunks Write Code and lead developer of LeapChat. Noisebridge is a hackerspace for technical-creative projects, democratically run by its members. They are a non-profit educational institution intended for public benefit. Located in the heart of San Francisco, their motto is: We teach, we learn, we share.
Agenda (12 p.m. - 6 p.m.):
12 p.m. - Opening and introductions
1 p.m. - CryptPad presentation: "Why Privacy Matters and How to Collaborate Securely"
Ludovic Dubost, CEO of XWiki SAS, the company that is building the CryptPad Open Source project and online service, will tell us what went on when the idea of Cryptpad came about, how it was developed and what possibilities this new technology brings.
1:45 p.m. - CryptPad and XWiki Hackathon
This is an event for any developer that wishes to work on an Open Source software. You can help enhance CryptPad and XWiki, try to build your first privacy enhancing application and, for the perfectionist bunch, fix a bug in CryptPad or XWiki.
We're officially launching a challenge for the advanced developers: to integrate a JavaScript calendar viewer and editor inside CryptPad. Signed up yet?
