Hi,
Thanks for all the links. Now I have an idea about what you want to do.
Though I am not much educated about how do things work in the Fedora
community, there are a couple of things I had in my mind with which I think
you also seem to agree. I had replied to Shreyank's mail earlier. However, I
sent it as a personal reply, which wasn't sent to you. So I am going to
forward it to you so that you get to know as to what I had in my mind.
I received your email now. Thanks.
As I read the threads, I noticed that you and other community members
have
big plans of having everything related to other events logged in place,
which is good and that's how even I think it should be. But, I really think
that FUDCon is really close. Our main focus should be FUDCon Pune first and
then after the event, we can go ahead and take initiatives for putting
everything in one place. In fact, the website should be up real soon is what
I think and with COD, we just have to focus on the theming bit.
I agree that we need to put up a website for FUDCon Pune as a priority.
Let me know about what you think about this so that work can be put
on fast
pace.
For the points you mentioned in another email:
IMO, these are the things that we need to work on immediately:
1. User registration and login
Is it going to be new registration for every user? Shouldn't we be using FAS as it
makes more sense?
FAS should be perferred, however not all attendees would have a FAS
account. Maybe we can use OpenID.
2. Website theme
i.e. the design/front-end.
I don't really know about Drupal theming. So I can't say how to do it
properly. However, I think we can split up the work into two parts:
* making the website functional
* creating a Drupal theme
This way we can do them in parallel.
3. Hosting for website deployment
If we are going to work together (which I think we are), we need to have a centralised
space where we can work. Let this be the hosting instance as moving a Drupal instance from
one instance to another could be a pain in case of COD.
Agreed and here is what we need:
* a place where hosting space where we can collaboratively tweak and
test the COD installation
* fixup meeting timings for discussions
Let us meet on IRC in the evening today on #fedora-websites at 6:00PM ?
