you got it!<br>
<br>
for the lgm 2008 i've written a small registration management system...<br>
<br>
now, my question is: do you (or anybody else) miss anything in the last<br>
year system, which would make it worth to look for an external one?<br>
<br>
i would personally continue with the one i've set up (which grew with<br>
lgm 2009 and will be consolidated for 2010)*, but i'm open to any<br>
suggestions.<br>
(not sure if a django based solution will be an option, though: we may<br>
not have accesss to python on the server...)<br>
</div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>Sure; I hope I didn't sound like I was knocking the existing registration system -- my bigger interest was in the talk proposal management, I just brought up both things since I was discussing both with Ilan. Sorry if that came across wrong. I was curious about what other people thought of the payment (not paypal-specific, of course) integration, I guess because if attendees could pay for shirts and other things in advance,</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>This would definitely ease the pressure on the local budget (and on the local organisers!).<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="gmail_quote"><div> it might be helpful from the fundraising angle.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Add to that the supper with a deadline for tickets just as they do it
in France for RMLL and you’re off with a zero deficit, and much easier process on the local organisers, which is great! :-)<br>
<br>
I support the idea of having a way of buying those items direclty on the web!<br>
<br>
Solving the money issue will result in having a secure server
which in turn will help manage more elegantly the personal data we need
to gather to process the reimbursements. I am all for it!<br><br>As for the preferred tools, I leave that up to you guys. This is out of my field of competence! :-)<br>
<br>
Louis<br><br>p.s. Suggestion for the Create Mailing List set-up. The "reply-to" should be the Create list and not the sender of the message. Is that possible? If you don’t hit "reply to all" you end-up talking to the sender only and then you realize this and then you send your message again... My 2-cents. :-)<br>
