Hello,
one of the items discussed in Bern was to set-up a conference planning
tool. Last time I checked (a few years ago), everything was a big mess,
and every organizer was hacking their favorite tool to an extend that
made re-use and/or upgrading impossible. ;-) Feedback from this years'
conference organizers was also that such a tool is missing. Basic
features needed are call for papers, registration of participants and
speakers, and an easy (!) scheduling. I think of something similar that
schools use for planning their schedules - you add some dependencies and
limitations, and then a few proposals are made.
Before thinking about coming up with our own solution, we should check
what existing tools are on the market, or if other projects are working
on that (I heard rumors that other FLOSS projects are already funding
efforts here).
If someone has more insight than I have, or volunteers to have a look,
that'd be great! :-)
Florian
