Much as I love Edd and his approach to the creation of expectnation, I think it would be awkward for us to use non-Free software where Free software can be used, particularly in such a public role (there are other cases for which I would be willing to use non-Free software for GNOME-related stuff, so this is not just wild ideological handwaving). We could implement the software used for linux.conf.au over the last couple of years, which includes paper submission, review and delegate registration, and has been integrated with two different content mangement systems, so we could continue using Drupal, or switch to Moin or possibly even Plone. That would be a great way of supporting a Free Software ecosystem as well as satisfying our needs. :-) There are also various things we could do with Drupal, simple and sufficient for our needs, that might be better than what we already have. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ W.O.R.K: Weekend Over, Resume the Killings. _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
