 But I'll not apply to work on the tooling for the LibOCon again. I have
 already had some 'fun' with that work in the past and don't need another
 experience in that area.


 no worries - thanks for all your work in the past here, but I indeed think 
 it's time to look for a different tool this time... :-)

IMHO this is a good tool http://lapsi.latinoware.org/, fellows from
Brazil may have more insight on it

Unfortunately no info at all on what the tool does in terms of helping
the organizers.
The only visible feature is the schedule that links to short speaker
profiles in a popup (that uses wrong way to determine where to show up
btw) - but it is unclear whether the table is just created
manually/how it works behind the scenes.
Also no link to sources or similar to set it up on your own server.
The only info is that it was initially created for Latinoware 2008...

ciao

Hi,

Christian Lohmaier wrote on 2014-10-17 at 13:38:


one of the items discussed in Bern was to set-up a conference planning tool.


What's the deadline for a testing/proofing phase?


for me personally, there is none. I am not even sure whether we can have 
this for the 2015 conference, as planning will start already soon - but 
let's see.



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?


I guess we should test it out independent from the 2015 conference - if 
we can manage it, switching for the planning to the tool is fine, but 
otherwise let's aim for the 2016 conference then if we need more time.


Helpful would be if some volunteers could have a look at the individual 
systems and give their feedback what they liked and disliked - ideally 
done by people who have experience with conference planning and 
organizing. ;-)


For you personally, I assume you are buried in work already. :-)

Thanks a lot for the summary, really appreciated!
Florian

 For information, this is what we used this year for the program.

 And also from what I remember, the request was to have no login to
 submit papers, bio and so on.

if someone request to submit a paper etc. without the need to login and
create an account I wonder how he would like to manage additions/changes
to the paper, bio etc.

I'm not aware of a conference where I submitted a paper without the need
of a login. In particular the mentioned pentabarf - used for some events
that I attended - asks for a login. I used that to submit two talks for
a free software event in Oberhausen some days ago. The same is true for
the vcc from LinuxTag.

Andreas

 For that then I suggest to just either use the free-form email address
 method or a simple form in silverstripe, just as it was used in the
 past - the organizer team then can import that into whatever tool that
 is used for the schedule.
that possibly will cutt the submitter off from editing (remembering) his
proposal later.

 Basic features needed are
 call for papers, registration of participants and speakers,

That's all easily done in any system I guess :-))

 and an easy (!)
 scheduling.

That's the tricky part to do properly and as well userfriendly.

 [...]
 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).

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

 Great idea!
 I'll do some checks in my network.

The people from T-Dose use something that - at least from my perspective
- looks fine.
It is drupal with a lot additional modules, that allows us to make forms
and views. Thus most is automated. Before you are that far, it's quite a
job, but after that handy. People there are willing to help.

Also there is https://amsterdam2014.drupal.org/ a drupal based
conference site that is neat.
Have some more contacts around that too.

If some people can check both and see what fits most..

Cheers

 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.

Just for information, we have used FET this year for setting the program
and Kendy found it usefull.
http://www.lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/
But that only cover part of the needed features.
Cheers
Sophie
