Thread: Community instance of PentaBarf?
WWW Team, Pentabarf is the software which we used to schedule and book all three Canada conferences (Anniversary, pgCon1 and 2). It's the most full-featured conference presentation management package available in OSS. I'd like us to have an instance of PB installed on a community server so we can use it for pgDays and the like. Right now Selena is trying to hack up something in Drupal and it'll take a lot of work. PB is Rails, so it's a bit of a resource hog, but does run on Postgres. Can we do this? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

I have been looking into doing this for the eu group. Previously the conferences have all made a point of doing their ownstuff and not within the web community, but if that has changed lll be happy to make it a general community resource. /Magnus
Ciao Josh,
Thanks,

Yes ... and a very hard one to install and configure. :)
This is something that we really need. This would speed up the organisation process for PG conferences worldwide, and also speed up the registration process, as speakers information will be shared among events.
As Magnus later pointed out, we were just about to raise the issue again for PGDay EU/IT.
