le 19 mai: Contenu multilingue et WordPress
English text below
En 2013, le grand débat qui devait enfin tout régler n’avait évidemment rien réglé. Si on nous donnait un dollar chaque fois que quelqu’un demande quel plugin utiliser pour le multilingue, on pourrait sûrement payer la bière à tout le monde qui sera présent à cette présentation.
Cette fois-ci, il n’y aura pas de débat. On va d’abord parler de tout ce que ça implique, un site multilingue. Nous présenterons les meilleures pratiques et nous discuterons avec des traductrices et gestionnaires de contenu de sites multilingues pour en savoir plus sur ce qui se passe « dans la vraie vie ». Enfin, nous présenterons chacune des solutions disponibles en ce moment dans l’écosystème WordPress. On vous le donne en mille: il n’y en a aucune qui est parfaite. Sinon, on ne pourrait pas payer la bière!
Animation: Élise Desaulniers et Alexandre Simard – associés, Desaulniers Simard
Élise Desaulniers a redécouvert le plaisir d’écrire avec WordPress et blogue maintenant sur Voir et Penser avant d’ouvrir la bouche. Elle a déjà formé une centaine de personnes à l’utilisation de WordPress et réalisé plusieurs dizaines de sites de toutes tailles. Elle a été conférencière à toutes les éditions du WordCamp de Montréal depuis 2012. Auparavant, Élise a été analyste et directrice de compte chez Diesel (maintenant SidLee) avant de passer du côté client chez Air France/KLM, où elle a occupé les postes d’analyste des marchés et de responsable pricing pour le Canada. Elle est également connue comme auteure et spécialiste de l’éthique animale.
Alexandre Simard gagne sa vie depuis 2009 comme développeur indépendant spécialisé en WordPress. Il a été conférencier à (presque) toutes les éditions du WordCamp Montréal. Alexandre a « programmé » son premier site web en 1998. Son fureteur favori était Netscape 2.02. Depuis ce temps, il a occupé tous les corps de métier du web (designer, intégrateur, programmeur, analyste, chef d’équipe) dans tous les types d’entreprise (startups, agences de publicités, firmes conseils). Alexandre est lui aussi auteur, bien qu’il s’attaque à des sujets moins importants qu’Élise. Son premier ouvrage s’intitule Yves, le roi de la cruise.
Avec la participation de:
- Anne-Sophie Cardinal, traductrice. Anne-Sophie parle couramment français, anglais, hébreu et espagnol. Elle a notamment travaillé pour une compagnie de localisation de logiciels et d’applications mobiles en Israël.
- Lysanne Latulippe, designer et associée, String Theory Scarves. Lysanne a géré son site multilingue elle-même pendant des années avant de se décourager et nous appeler.
- François Burra, UX designer et Product Owner chez bluenove. François a contribué à plusieurs projets d’applications multilingues sur les dernières années, avec son lot de défis !

April 29: Harness the Power of Time Travel with Version Control
Français ci-dessous.
Have you ever accidentally deleted a few lines of code that brought your WordPress theme into a bleak empty white page with no way of recovering the lost code? With revision control, travelling back in time is a breeze. Join Alex Dankoff and journey through time and space, using revision control as our Tardis.
See how quickly you can become the Time Lord of your WordPress code, creating alternate time branches and merging these multi-verse timescapes back into a single unified code base. Have you dreamt of a world where alternate realities of your code can coexist in multiple environments? Where travelling a year back in time through your code was as easy as a single command? A world where all of your code exists in a single space and can be collaborated on and shared quickly and easily? Perhaps the Doctor Who analogy is a bit much, but you get the gist.
In this session, Alex will guide you through setting up a project in GitHub and Bitbucket, from account creation and key generation to branching, committing and pushing code. Your world will never be the same.
Alex Dankoff is a senior PHP and front-end web developer with a decade of interactive marketing experience, creating innovative user experiences and complex system architectures for start-ups and multinationals.

February 26: Keeping Your WordPress Safe
Français ci-dessous.
Our next event focuses on security!
Let’s face it: you never want to wake up one morning with your WordPress install hacked – or even worse, your clients’ sites.
Google flags your URL as malware. Your hosting company disables your account. Your email accounts end up on blacklists. Anything like this can put your reputation and your business in jeopardy – and that’s if you’re aware of it. A hacker can even take over a site without your knowledge!
Security is a crucial topic for every WordPress user. This event will feature of a presentation by Carl Alexander covering best practices around the configuration and maintenance of your WordPress site, followed by a “show and tell” segment. Come share your own best practices with the community. You might even learn a thing or two in the process!

Come tell your tale at our next event: “Things you wish you knew when you started using WordPress”!
This show-and-tell event will give you a chance to share with the community things you wished you’d known when you first started using WordPress.

You’ll have up to five minutes to present your tidbit to the group. If you’d rather just watch, that’s OK too!
