Hi folks,

I'd like to get an idea of what software folks are using to run their
conference websites - content management, programme (CFP through to
schedule) and registration.

I've helped with symposion. https://github.com/pinax/pinax-project-symposion

I've also bookmarked a lot of systems because I'd like to evaluate them
all. Here they are in no particular order.

We used something called FOSSConf[1] for PyCon India 2009
https://in.pycon.org/2009/. The maintainer and primary author passed
away a few years ago and the project is mostly unmaintained as far as I
know.

For 2010 https://in.pycon.org/2010/ and 2011 https://in.pycon.org/2011/,
we used an Infogami[2] based system. I'm no longer sure where the
complete code is.

For 2012 till last year, I think we used Funnel[3]. This is maintained
actively by a company in Bangalore in the business of running
conferences. It's a little hardwired for their own use patterns but
still a good piece of software.

For 2014 (I think) and for the upcoming 2015, we used Junction[4] which
was made by volunteers active in the conference organisation and custom
built for our own needs. It's actively maintained. That's what we will
be using moving forward.

I see that Indico is still being developed:

http://indico-software.org/

Although some people didn't like it very much, it covers many of the different 
sides of conference administration and is written in Python.

For EuroPython 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 we used the software developed
by the Python Italia team:

https://github.com/EuroPython/epcon
https://github.com/EuroPython/assopy
https://github.com/EuroPython/conference

It provides everything needed and has many cool features built-in
like talk voting, drag&drop scheduling, integration with Paypal and
Stripe, Django CMS, automatic switching between conference rates,
etc. etc.

That said, it does take a while to get it up and running, since
it's not a trivial system to deploy.

Hi Richard,

we use Symposion for our annual conference Kiwi PyCon. While there is
a speaker profile registration, conference _tickets_ are handled
externally (we use Wild Apricot for that atm - a story of its own
:-)).

Symposion is not bad, but you can easily end up with a fork, even for
basic use. Also, although it is meant to handle multiple years, for
all practical purposes, best to migrate data to a new instance each
year.

Cheers,
Danny

Once upon a time - as you will remember M-A ;-) - there were some wiki pages 
about conference management solutions:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython/SoftwareRequirements
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConPlanning/SoftwareRequirements

I think that a review of the current scene might be beneficial to everyone 
interested in this kind of thing. It would be nice if people writing such 
stuff had demo sites and more than a GitHub repository landing page, too.

That would be really great.

I was thinking a feature table would be helpful, like how djangopackages
displays.

I don't have enough time to volunteer for it at the moment. When I have
more time, and if no one has gotten around to it, maybe I could at minimum
start updating a wiki.

I've been recommending people use new instances each year, but I haven't
actually tried just using one.

btw, I've been meaning to submit PRs for improved docs but it is one of
those tasks I fall behind on.

Currently I have some very spare docs in the pydata conference repo. (I've
also got a fab file for deploying it.)

http://pydata-conference-management.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
https://github.com/pydata/conf_site/blob/master/fabfile.py

I notice Carl has some notes in the pyohio repo on the talk review process
https://github.com/pyohio/Conference-Documentation/tree/master/workflows-for-talk-submissions

And I have a record in reverse chronological order from when I was learning
symposion to help with SciPy 2014. (For 2015 they used a vendor for doing
the conference.)

If I had more time to volunteer :( I think it would help future conferences
if for each conference system we made deployment scripts for all of them.
That way organizers could pick the ones that match what they want to use
and have no problem deploying them.

Sounds like an excellent sprint activity for a conference...

In my initial thoughts on this, it occurred to me that it would be nice to
have a quick way to install a fresh instance to Heroku, Rackspace, AWS,
and/or similar services.  If we did the examples that way, the same scripts
could be used to deploy a production copy for users.

Also it sounds good for a project night activity. Sometimes people who show
up to monthly events have an interest in python but don't know where to go
from the tutorials. They don't have any projects to work on.

We had a discussion in group-organizers about this
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/group-organizers/2015-April/000323.html

Maybe the conference software work is something you can offer to people who
show up to project nights. I haven't done it yet because I have been
helping someone work on a hackerspace django app and I don't have a
volunteer to help guide people to work on conference stuff. If any of you
are interested in doing it (remotely is ok) talk to me. The timezone would
be UTC/CMT -5.

I think you could also try contacting people who run Open Source Comes to
Campus events near you if you have any tasks that would fit. I have helped
with a few, and finding projects to offer students is valuable and
challenging work.  http://discourse.openhatch.org/

My initial thoughts on this:
I want to see the data model.

I think the best use of time, both on the side of creating something, and
the reader, will be seeing what is being stored.

If someone has 5-10 min, just track down the URL that points to the
existing data model/schema/classes/whatever file.

If they have a little more time,  document the tables - names and a
description of why they exist.

Add to that: data dictionary of what all the fields are used for.

For extra credit, a visualization showing the important tables and
relations.

I would prefer that over a demo.  Trying to figure out how to use a demo is
going to be frustrating.   I have tried at least 4 times  to figure out how
to use a dev version of symposion and still can't propose a talk, accept it
and schedule it. And yet it seems to be the most viable choice.
