<> = Open Source meets Business 2007 = The MoinMoin project will have a "Poster Session" at the [[http://www.heise.de/veranstaltungen/2007/ho_osb/|"Open Source meets Business 2007"]] congress in Nuernberg, Germany (23.-26. January 2007). Details about what a "Poster Session" is are [[http://www.heise.de/veranstaltungen/2007/ho_osb/postersession.shtml|here (in german)]] or [[http://www.heise.de/veranstaltungen/2007/ho_osb/en/postersession.shtml|here (in english)]] . ThomasWaldmann and MichaelZeidler will be there. Due to the location, I guess most people attending there will be from Germany. The talks at the congress are in English or German, so maybe there is also some international audience. Travel: * TW goes there from 2007-01-23 (travelling in the morning) to 2007-01-26 (travelling back, unsure whether in the morning or afternoon after last conference day [there is no poster session that day, but the day before could get rather late]) = Infos I got via email = * we will have Internet by LAN * the table will be rather small (0.5x0.5 maybe) and besides (not in front of) the posters, so no way for a beamer = Poster = * [[attachment:MoinMoin.mm]] (Freemind data file) * [[attachment:MoinMoinA4.ps]] (same as A4 flyer - 1,54 MB) * [[attachment:MoinMoinA4.pdf]] (same as PDF - 325 KB) = Keywords for Poster = * MM logo * easy, distributed and open collaboration * simple content managment * gui editor * access control * email integration * free software (GPL) * modular design, readable code (Python) * easily extensible (plugins) * desktop edition to try in a minute == Another suggestion with some more details == * MM logo * easy, distributed and open collaboration aiming primarily on intranet usage * simple content managment * free software (GPL) with a fast community of users (some screenshots from Fedora, Ubuntu here maybe. Most people would like to see pictures.. makes also look the poster more interesting I think.. Please do also mention web.de, VDI, Intel and Apache here... Web.de is really a door-opener and is a must to mention here.. Put also logos of these firms on the poster as eye-catcher??) * text and WYSIWIG editor * access control * support of different languages. Full support of German not only of the user's interface but also of the vast amount of help pages (TWiki doesn't have that and that's a major drawback. Important information in my eyes!!!) * email integration (subscription to changes of pages as well as easliy merging e-mail in wikipages) * full text and(!) full attachment search (pdf, ppt, xls files...) in Moin1.6 * page templates which ease the creation of pages dramatically (!MeetingTemplate, !ReportTemplate..) I could also provide some page templates here, since we at the university also use e.g. the !MeetingTemplate to find a meeting date by voting for different date suggestions. Very nice... * modular design, readable code (Python) * one of the safest wiki engines! * easy to maintain and update * wikifarm concept for easy parallel running of different wikis also with common shared pages and farm search (patches available) * easily extensible (plugins). Give a list of interesting plugins here for the business people like event calender, inline spreadsheet calculation, TaskPlanner, Word-Formatter, Conversion from Word to Moin pages, PDF-Support, Slideshow-Mode to do presentation directly out of the wiki, TWikiDrawPlugin/JGraphPadPlugin to change and edit images and mindmapps inline, and so on.. * desktop edition to try in a minute/to run a standalone without the need to a big webserver and internet. Also usable as personal information manager and keeping your personal notes. * wikisyncronistation to syronise different wikis e.g. a personal, desktop wiki with a online, normal wiki * Commerical support available (WaldmannEDV and others...) + MoinBounties-Concept (pay for implementation) An outlook to the future is maybe also very interesting if a company wants to choose the right engine: * Support for handicaped people (in progress): very important information for governmental organisations which have since 2005 (?) to assure accessibility by law and which want to use Moin as intranet!! * Support for mobile devices (planned). * Storage abstraction (flat and database support) * Better support of metadata and semantic web (However: some patches for a semantic Moin are already available!!). * Full revision controll of attachments * ... == Layout Ideas == * Like a Mindmap or a UML diagram? I think that would be nice. -- MarkusMajer == Other Ideas == Maybe it is also possible to have a small information flyer on Moin (a copy of the posters?) people can take away, a CD with an installed DesktopEdition (needs only to be copied to the hdd for testing then). If you give a way a CD, I think it would be the best to remaster a Linux Live CD (for example Ubuntu Live CD, because it has a good hardware recognition in general) and put the Desktop Moin Edition on it. Then the people also have the requirements for Moin also (Python, etc.) -- MarkusMajer ---- I can also give a helping hand in the creation of the posters and the graphical design, but I only have ppt for that available - no open office. Sorry. -- OliverSiemoneit <> If you have Linux, you should use a vector drawing programm like Inkscape, Sodipodi, Karbon, etc. for that - because it needs to be scalable to print it in a size like 1,50 x 1,50 metres. If I print it, need a appropriate format like EPS, SVG, PDF.. -- Markus Majer ---- The poster looks great! Good luck in Nuremberg! -- OliverSiemoneit <> ---- = Future = Have we been invited for Open Source Meets Business ''2008''? Call for Papers is open till September.
