Yes, I think we've always thought that we should have a system that runs on Python. PyCon-Tech managed to tick all these boxes, and more, but I think it may have got out of hand.

Hmmm, seems like they are missing > badges... ;-) Yes, we have thought out what we want, and badges are a part of that. Many conferences still produce badges by hand. But if you can automate this, and make the badge work for you with the information stored on it, this is a major benefit. > > Regards, > > Dinu > > > [1] http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ocs > > """ > Open Conference Systems > > Open Conference Systems (OCS) is a free Web publishing tool > that will create a complete Web presence for your scholarly > conference.
