Did not try myself yet, but pentabarf http://www.pentabarf.org might seem a possible basis. Although no recent conferences listed as planned with that too, it offers all from speaker management to scheduling with basic conflict management. As the post was ~a month ago, time already to collect the proposals and start with trying them out? Or do people have more proposals? So far there were: * https://github.com/openSUSE/osem (Open Source Event Manager) No idea how to actually use that, as there is no clear pointer to either screenshots or some guidelines/tutorials... All I know from quick search is that there's an app for it (obviously :-) - and that there was a GSoC project for a dashboard view https://news.opensuse.org/2014/07/30/gsoc-open-source-event-manager-organizer-dashboard/ * http://www.lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/ (Free Timetabling Software) only covers the schedule - was used this year good for automatic timetables * unnamed tool used by T-Dose drupal with lots of additional stuff - "quite a job to setup, but then looks nice" * https://github.com/hasgeek/funnel (Paper Submission and Voting) no end-user/usage docs, used widely for FLOSS events in India * http://www.pentabarf.org (see above) quite old (last commit in 2010) - but would cover more or less everything from speaker management, submittions and schedules DebConf uses it afaict (even if no current events are listed in pentabarf's wiki - debconf pages refer to pentabarf-accounts, etc) - at least they set it up for the '13 conference http://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/ FOSDEM uses it https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/ OpenRheinRuhr uses it http://event.openrheinruhr.de/submission * homebrew implementation ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
