The UTOS Confrence Manager or ConMan, is really coming along. Tonight’s HackNight didn’t last quite as long as last weekend, but there was some definite improvements.
One of the really nice improvements was the addition of the logo by James Hancock who’s really good with his inkscape skills. Other improvements included a better gui, backend administration, refactoring much of the user creation to better accommodate future enhancements.
One of the best features that has been added tonight was the blog functionality by Kevin Kubasik of GNOME fame. When a conference is upcoming and during the conference itself, this feature will be front and center. Nice work!
Things that are left include registration, including payments with google checkout, paypal or a merchant backend. Sponsor management is another, as well as schedules for volunteers, speakers, attendees and sessions, bofs and events.
I’m even sure there are items not yet considered above, but that’s the functionality we hope to have in place within the next few months. Feel free to download the project, and submit patches back to us anytime, we dig the help.
We’re looking forward to deploying the Call for Papers components tomorrow or Sunday in our official call for papers announcement, so keep your eyes peeled.
Cheers,
Clint
