From Fedora Project Wiki
This is the central page for deliberation on the Events module for Insight.
The Use Cases for the same have already been chalked out on
This page will dive into the more technical aspect of how to achieve those and outline the specific details too.
The Use Cases(once more)
- It allows you to manage Sponsorships requests (by providing a link to the appropiate trac ticket)
- It allows you to manage Attendance (Manage how are coming, food preferences and shirt sizes)
- It allows you to manage Budget (Set a budget and see where it's all being used)
- It allows you to define schedule, the topic and the presentator. After the event is done, a link to the slides or the video can be added so others can easily find it.
- It allows you to get 'impressions' (Tweets / Dents) of a certain hashtag.
- It allows you to link to photo galleries of the events, so others can share the pictures
- Have people register for the events on Insight, rather than on the wiki. This makes it easier for us to send out reminder emails to attendees, etc.
- Have event organizers put all the information in Insight, where it can handle multiple languages better than the wiki does currently. (And, to be honest, right now some of the information is on the wiki,some is on the event websites.)
- Allow people to propose talks (and perhaps even vote on the talks they'd like to attend) via the website.
