I have been offered the use of existing systems, but I think we have a opportunity here to create something for our own use and mutual benefit. Yesterday at the OSW meeting I volunteered to create a registration system for OSW (http://www.osw.ca/). It will be an open source project, free for anyone to use. I have already drawn up some preliminary specs, and tossed together a database diagram. My tools of choice: PHP and PostgreSQL. What I want to tackle first is: - user registration - talks - locations (where is the talk) - speakers (who is giving this talk) >From this information, a website can create a page with talks, a page with the speakers and their biographies, and a page with the location on it (complete with maps). Each page contains links to the others. This is my primary short term goal. Dynamic web page content. Anyone wishing to get involved, please speak up. If you want to learn PHP/PostgreSQL, this is an ideal opportunity. The project has very small distinct tasks which will take a few hours to complete (i.e. one evening).
