Sorry, I understood Expectnation solved the issue of the registration payments and related accounting. This is one of the main pita and critical areas organizing GUADEC. For Vilanove we developed a custom made application that made the trick at some extent but was really hard to be reused in further events.
If the registration payments are problematic to handle in Turkey a possibility would be to handle them in the USA directly through the Foundation, perhaps with the exception of Turkish participants that could use an internal channel to avoid moving money accross the borders. The event organization relies mostly on the money from sponsors and the registratioon bit hasn't been critical in the past years afaik. If this bit is solved then all the rest can be solved either improving the current Drupal website or interfacing with preexisting modules/apps used by linux.conf.au or whoever willing to collaborate (in Vilanova there was some discussion about using the soft developed for the W3C activities but after some mails nothing happened at the end. Baris, your list of features can we accomplished with Drupal alone. Some of them might require some extra work but as someone said perhaps it can be contracted if you don't find any volunteers. Or you can always drop the extra improvements that are not that essential and concentrate on the couple of things that really matter. -- Quim Gil /// http://flors.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
