Hi all I've been reluctant to send this for fear of it being a red herring and incurring the wrath of the devs, but here goes. (So be gentle!)
It has potential as a CMS and/or attendee app... please feel free to contact the devs, Carla and Craig directly, please cc me in. Carla also said that "FYI, the apps might crash. I don't think the server is running anymore.... This stuff hasn't been touched since last year. So probably best to check out the source code." regards B ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carla Goldstein <[email protected]> Date: Mon, May 4, 2015 at 9:46 PM Subject: Re: TEDx mobile app attendee profile? To: justin beswick <[email protected]> Cc: Bernelle Verster <[email protected]>, Craig Wattrus < [email protected]> Hey Bernelle Thanks for reaching out. For last year's event we made an app which was basically a digital version of the programme. You can check them out here: Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tedx.capetown.app&hl=en iStore: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tedxct-2014/id903430921?ls=1&mt=8 You can view the source code here: https://github.com/TEDxCT They are pretty standard, nothing fancy. All the code is native (objective C and Java) and not very well documented :/ It looks as if you are needing an attendee login though? We didn't get that far, but I am hoping to add that in version 2. The original TED sponsored TEDx apps (remember AppBaker?) used something called WeLink <https://welink.com/> which I think was somehow using Eventbrite <https://www.eventbrite.com/> in a pretty crappy way. I don't know much about open source attendee management, but maybe you can make use of the google+ and facebook login APIs to manage users. I havent started working on the apps again this year due to time, but if you have devs interested in collaborating I'd be keen to explore that (maybe from June only though). Let me know if you have anymore questions!
