Twiki Meetup in Santa Clara

There was a meetup tonite for Twiki users from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Plug and Play Tech Center, 440 North Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale, CA 94085.

I attended most of it, though 5:30 pm is pretty early for most people to leave work and drive there. Nonetheless, turnout was good, with over 30 audience members plus staff from twiki.net, the company providing support for Twiki.

The format was a slide show, followed by a very energetic community evangelist who got the audience involved.

Several members of other local Bay User perl and linux user groups dropped in.

Twiki is notable in offering many plugins that combine to create a very feature-rich wiki. For example, it’s possible to embed twiki spreadsheets, forms or do programming in twiki pages.

I’ve used twiki, confluence, mediawiki and trac. I’d say twiki is my favorite for complex wikis.

The pizza was not great, although it was nice of them to serve both soft drinks and wine.
