<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">This looks great and well done all. Hope it's ok to post a couple of suggestions: Sutty is a privacy-conscious Content Management System that could be installed and used, I expect it would work with any hosting. They worked with COMPOST magazine this year, whose latest issue is built on Sutty: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sutty.nl/en/">https://sutty.nl/en/</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://three.compost.digital">https://three.compost.digital</a> – the authors all had access to build pages so could control content flow, but the overall page design was handled by COMPOST. So maybe a privacy-conscious FLOSS alternative to WP? If going plain HTML/CSS for getting proposals: what about a web-form that exports a HTML output? It wouldn't be the hardest to build a script to add HTML tags to the responses. And the form could be very basic, output a HTML file and send it by email to LGM. If this might be desirable I'd be happy to pitch in on a build.

And i think more that each organizing would rather use the tools they are used to manipulate. So i don’t see the option of developping something specific as a good one. When i was proposing to use the dynamic tool we built for Grafiklabor, it was just for this year and not assuming it would be reused. But if there is a wish for, this is build over Django, it’s home build so we could do what we want, and self-hosted. I could manage it if needed. But once again, this was not my full expectation. Our needs are quite simple : 1. grab information from speakers about their conference 2. build page that display the program details to everyone, which can be done with a static tool (whatever way to produce it) 3. eventually, get informations about visitors with a registering process 1. can be done with mail, eventually ODT, markdown or PDF form template. With this solution, the organizing has to deal with files which is not very difficult. 2. if we don’t use dynamic tool to get submissions, i don’t see any reason not building a static site. The pipeline should be different regarding the first point choice. We’ve already use pelican, but elisa is efficient with copy-paste too :-) 3. that’s the hard point, if we want to have an average count of future visitors and improve organisation details. But this is not a need, only comfort. We could just provide an email on the website and say "hey! send email here if you wish to come". cheers.

(as an example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://getindico.io/">https://getindico.io/</a>) if we can find something fitting that would be perfect (but won't give a solution for future organizers, who don't have access to their own server). there is one thing from my side: i'd prefer if we could have the schedule of talks and presenters on the lgm site and not on the external site. (we can always export it at the end, but it would be really nice if the links were correct from the start) and in the future, we might think if we should have our own instance on a server. but, then, somebody has to regularly pay the fee and there must be administrators who keep it secure. have a wonderful day a.l.e </pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> <div class="moz-signature">-- Shane Finan assembling artworks <a href="https://shanefinan.org">website</a> message sent when it was convenient for me to do so - please only reply if it is convenient for you to do so -- <ul> <li>Mar-Sep 2023: Púca in the Machine: New research combining myth, ecology, history and technology at Poulaphuca, Wicklow, supported by Wicklow Arts Office</li> <li>Mar-Apr 2023: Mischief, Submerged: COMPOST magazine Issue 3: Water</li> <li>Nov 2022-Dec 2023: Assembly, New interactive installation about collections, stories, technologies and futures; Jackie Clarke Collection, Ballina, Ireland, supported by Mayo Arts Office Decade of Centenaries</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
