We *want* to encourage people to room together, especially those we will sponsor for travel (assuming we have funds for that.) But telling people to room together is one thing, knowing where to find people in search of roommates is quite another.
I was thinking we should just create a "Rooming Board" on our website, but on the technical side, there is no database running the website that can store/manage these listings. We could link to a wiki page, but as Jos pointed out, it requires login, which will create a barrier for some people.
Hi Bryen, I don't think we should sponsor people to come to the conference that are unwilling to log into our wiki. Or which barrier are you talking about?
Greetings
Sponsored attendees was just one example. We should be making it easy to reach out to each other for roommate options regardless of whether you're sponsored or not. The event will not be exclusive only to those who are in the openSUSE community and use the wiki or any other openSUSE login component.
Too bad our infrastructure requires the novell/suse account, not everyone is happy with that.
Then again, we have to be realistic, we can't overhaul all our infra all the time. Let's see how Shayon's tool works and if that's a solution. If it isn't, let's set up a wiki page and ask people afterwards if it worked for them... If not, we can change things.
/Jos (always in favor of quick solutions over perfect ones)
Hello all, Unfortunately as I expected that wont fit well. Unless we get some php/mysql support. We can either go with this and if not this solution then may be wiki is a better option. Or can indico instance do something about this ?
Why cant we create a wiki form page. People I assume are applying for sposnosrhsips, filling up the form is should be a requirement. Have a look at this http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas Also, I completely agree with Thomas with regard to registering on the website. Regards Manu Gupta
