FUDCon Pune Website is now up - fudcon.in
by Saleem Ansari
Hi all!
We are thrilled to announce that FUDCon Pune website [1] is up and running now.
Below are some FAQs:
How do I register for FUDCon Pune 2011?
* Visit the website [1] and login via OpenID or register for a new account.
Once you have logged in to the site, goto EVENTS SIGNUP -> FUDCON PUNE.
Then click Sign Up.
Can I use my existing FAS account as OpenID login?
* Yes, to login via FAS OpenID login, you follow the instructions on
Fedora OpenID page.
I would like to present or talk at FUDCon Pune. How do I do that?
* Thats simple indeed. After you have logged in to the website [1], you can
create a session [3], stating the details about your talk or session.
Behind the scenes, there has been a lot of work involved to bring this website
to good shape. However there might still be more things that we can do.
So do let us know on how we can improve it. Your suggestions are valuable.
Best regards,

Re: FUDCon Website - COD setup status

Hello Vaidik,

Excellent! I am now going to integrate it in my instance.

An live but still a development instance has been setup at the following URL:
http://www.fudcon.tuxdna.in
( I will pass you the credentials off-list )
I am experimenting with it currently.

I meant for a minimal database dump be available in the git repo, so anyone
can create an instance and experiment with it. I have created one and committed
it to the repo.

In the AuthFAS module there is a mandatory parameter which essentially requires
an approved group.
So it makes it a bit difficult since a new user wouldn't be in a group unless
approved. That is a separate workflow altogether. I tend to avoid it
for the purpose
of the website for now.

I have anyways configured OpenID, which works fine. We can restrict
it to only FAS OpenID if we want to. But let it be whatever it is for the
time being.
Below is a rough list of steps which I have followed on the live instance.
* Update the website after installation
http://www.fudcon.tuxdna.in/update.php
* Added roles:
attendee, speaker
* Create a new event node/add/event
FUDCon Pune, India 2011
* Create a new sponsor Content
Red Hat
* Enable COD BoF Session
admin/build/features
http://www.fudcon.tuxdna.in/admin/content/node
* Create schedule
http://usecod.com/demo/sessions-schedule
* Registration
http://usecod.com/feature/event
* Session grid
http://usecod.com/feature/event
* Enable Voting
( login as admin user )
admin/build/flags/manage/session_vote
authenticated user can vote
I know the above is only a rough transcript :)
