Project description

wafer

Travis CI build status Wafer documentation

A wafer-thin web application for running small conferences. Built using Django.

Licensed under the ISC License.

Documentation

Available on readthedocs.org.

Installation

  1. TODO: Explain it all

  2. If you don’t have one yet, create a superuser with manage.py createsuperuser.

  3. Log in and configure the Site:

    • The domain will be used as the base for e-mails sent during registration.

    • The name will be the conference’s name.

  4. wafer uses the Django caching infrastructure in several places, so the cache table needs to be created using manage.py createcachetable.

  5. Create the default ‘Page Editors’ and ‘Talk Mentors’ groups using manage.py wafer_add_default_groups.

  6. Have a fun conference.

Running with Django 1.6

If you are running Django 1.6, please also install south for migrations:

pip install south

South 1.0 fails with python 3, described in this issue. To properly support python 3 and Django 1.6, you need to install a patched version. The following command should work:

pip install 'https://bitbucket.org/andrewgodwin/south/get/e2c9102ee033.zip#egg=South

Features

  • Improve admin support for the schedule:

    • Sponsorship slots remaining.

    • Days until various deadlines.

  • Other improvements
