@Giovanni: Is this payment system tightly integrated with the rest of the website or could it be replaced (e.g. externalized)? @Filip: For the German PyCon conferences we built our own system that is based mostly around django-cms. Right now we are updating it for PyCon DE 2013 and it is available on https://bitbucket.org/PySV/pycon_de_website if you're interested :-) On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Giovanni Bajo giova...@pycon.it wrote: Il giorno 10/gen/2013, alle ore 22:32, Filip Kłębczyk fklebc...@gmail.com ha scritto: I have another question.

It's not that tightly integrated. We do have a fork where it's removed already, but there is some merging involved, plus we don't directly own the fork (it's been licensed), so there's also some politics. I'll see what we can do. In fact, I would be extremely happy if we get to a point where the codebase is finally open-sourced. I don't think it will be easy to adopt for other conferences but at least it's a start. So the goal is clear and I agree with it. -- Giovanni Bajo EuroPython 2012 https://ep2012.europython.eu Python Italia APS Non-profit association Registered in Italy ___ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

We only need a server-side payment gateway, we don't need a full ERP program nor modules of it.
