As you all know, on the last Friday of each month we organize the International Show&Tell. A space where technology cooperatives can share time, talking about technology while building relationships based on trust.
This month we will make an exception, since technically today is the last Friday of the month, but if we do it today it would be very close to the previous S&T and there is still almost a week left until the end of the month. So please don’t get confused, the change is only for this month!
Then, next Friday, November 1st at 3 PM UTC, we’ll do the next Show&Tell. This time Mariano Lambir from Fiqus, will present a project in which he was working together with three other developers of the cooperative. The project was developed to be presented at SpawnFest 2019, an international contest in which for two days you have to work to build an application in Elixir.
The Fiqus team developed an app to create HTML presentations from markdown. Something remarkable is that you can run live code while the presentation is going on (elixir by default, but you can run python too!). It also comes with a presenter’s view with comments and some more things that Mariano will tell us during the presentation. It’s quite simple to use, you have to have erlang and elixir installed. If you want to read something else, this is the repo: GitHub - spawnfest/prexent: 🎥 Fast, live and beautiful presentations from Markdown powered by Phoenix LiveView
I also share you a tweet where we communicate its launch:
As you know, on the last Friday of every month we are organizing the “International Show&Tell”. A space where tech co-ops can share time and talk about technology while they continue building links.
This time the Show&Tell is going to be a little different, as we are going to talk about technology, but applied to a product!
A French cooperative called Digicoop developed a product called Kantree and based their business model around it. It’s interesting how they tell their cooperative experience and how they apply cooperative principles to their product.
Since it’s not such a technical talk, but rather a cooperative experience generated around an application of technology, a more open audience can participate, not just developers.
@nicolasdimarco I’ve be very interested in knowing more about how you are using the WordPress BBB plugin to provide the CommunityBridge platform, could we follow this up on this thread?
