OCS isn't suitable for a non-scientific conference like the FOSS4G. It has all the features we don't need but not the features we need. Therefore the website team decided to code a custom solution based on Django. It's develped by User:Vmische.
- Repository: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2009/django/
- Instance for FOSS4G2009: http://dev.extranet.lisasoft.com/foss4g/
- License: It'll be licensed under MIT.
Features
- User accounts (with password reset, changing etc)
- Abstract submissions with tags support for easier voting (incl. editing of already submitted Abstracts)
- Nice admin interface (thank Django, not me)
- Nice ajaxy interface to vote on Abstracts (that also works without JavaScript)
- Pagination
Notes
- The current system is nflexible. It was coded to do the things that were needed, not for all cases that might occur. Though User:Vmische thinks that it should be used as a basis for future FOSS4G conferences. The amount of work that would be needed to add functionality like workshop/tutorial submissions is less than the amount to configure OCS.
