osem's Issues

Add keynote speakers attribute to conference model

Right now for the splash page to fetch keynote speakers I am using the registrations table, because there is no direct association between people table with conference.
So I added a featured attribute to person model, and to fetch keynote speakers, I use a join of registration table and people table.But the keynote speakers may not register, so there is a problem.
Another approach, we may also add a array attribute to conference table which will contain person ids who are keynote speakers, and this can be updated in conference settings.

Feature Request: control what is visible on the initial landing page

Hey awesominals,

On the landing page of OSEM (where you see multiple conferences) it shows the name of the event and below it the venue information text. That is a little unexpected as in the event configuration there is a 'description' field. This shows up under 'Program' on the specific conference page. I'd rather see the venue added there (incl venue text, and perhaps a picture, if that is possible?), and have the event description visible on the list of events.

Merge User/Person models

Currently those are two tables which doesn't really make sense and is confusing.

Admin only sessions

It would be great if OSEM had a way to let admins add session type that are not accessible to others.

For example if as an admin I set up an "Event Type" of "Keynote" than every one who submits a proposal has the opportunity to select the "Keynote" type for their proposal. However, in general "Keynotes", "Lunch", "Evening Events" etc. are things that should show up on the schedule but are controlled by the event organizers, thus having event types that are not visible to CfP submitters is one option to get things like "Keynotes" and "Lunch" on the schedule. I am certain there are other implementation options ;)

Also these "Admin only sessions/events" should be flexible in time, i.e. the admin sets the time when the event/session is created. For example "Lunch" one day my be an hour and another day it may only be 45 minutes. Similar issues apply to the keynotes.

Last but not least in the schedule one should be able to "merge/block" all rooms for overarching sessions/events such as keynotes, lunch etc.

Bug: tracks not nicely aligned

Hi awesominals,

While I'd rather hide the tracks in the first place, WHEN they show up they are weirdly aligned. I have two tracks and they are left-aligned on the conference overview page. See http://conference.owncloud.org/conference/OCC14 for the issue.

Hugs,
Jos

Add option to remove account picture

The user can upload a picture, but there's no way to reset this and remove the picture...

rights management should be improved

While admin accounts should have access to manage all events we should have a graded access model where people are given permissions to for example only vote on proposals for a given event. When the event ends the user does not automatically have/get/retain rights to vote on proposals for another event.

Adding attachments is not possible

I want to add my LibreOfice presentation as attachment to my talk at Summit 2013, but sadly only get the following error displayed in the WebUI:
"Error Empty file upload result"

I'm unsure what happens inside the application.

Email text templates

Email texts should be pre-filled with templates

Bug: color seems to not have any effect...

Hey Awesominals!

While Green is a great color, we'd like our event to be a bit more blue, fitting in with the ownCloud house color ;-)

We have configured the event but that doesn't seem to reflect anywhere. And the header on the main conferences page could/should also be adjustable, if possible...

Huggies,

Admin Events page throws error

Check applied in admin#index when call_for_papers is nil for a conference.

Question Builder for Registrations

We have a lot of features currently which are basically questions organizers can come up with for attendees. Currently we have:

• dietary choices: multiple choice
• supporter level: one choice
• social event: yes/no
• partner attending: yes/no
• using the conf hotel: yes/no
• handicapped access: yes/no

In issue #12 we have the next question in line. I would like OSEM to have a question builder for registrations where admins can input their own questions and choose the answer type instead of adding more and more of these hard coded into the app. We can use what we have as examples for the "builder".

Admin Menu section states wrong

• I go to /admin/conference/dps14
• I hover over "Call for Papers"
• I click on "Tracks"
• The "Call for Papers" section closes

Expected outcome: The "Call for Papers" section is open.

Events should have difficulty level

• The event model should have an 1:1 relation to the model event_severity.
• The event_severity model should belong to conference.
• The event_severity model should have the attributes "title"
• event_severities should be configurable the same way as event_types from the admin namespace

Provide checkbox for "swag" order

It would be nice to have a check box that allows registrants to order a t-shirt to be paid for at checking at the event.

The visibility of the check box should be configurable per event and the default should be "I do not want to purchase the conference shirt". When the user un-checks the box the sizes are shown XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL and the price is shown as well. The price also needs to be configurable in the admin interface.

CallForPapers should have validation on description

as on db level we have this constraint - it would be better to have it as well in validations

E, [2014-04-24T22:11:59.590551 #67891] ERROR -- : SQLite3::ConstraintException: call_for_papers.description may not be NULL: INSERT INTO "call_for_papers" ("created_at", "end_date", "hard_deadline", "start_date", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)

Simplify first admin setup

Currently you have seed the DB with the roles and work some "rails console" magic to make a user the first admin. We should simplify that. One possibility would be to always make the user with the ID 1 Admin. Other ideas?

Fix form method

Most of the forms use now method patch instead of put

DRY searching of a conference object

We have a lot of controllers actions where we do the same stuff - searching for a @conference. CanCan has a load_and_authorize_resource which will do so for us.

Feature request: smoothen registration process

Right now, after clicking 'register', you're brought to a login screen. I'd put the login option less visible, instead, focussing on the use case of registering a new account first. So, bring up the new account registration when clicking on the 'register' button and have a "already have an account? log in here" button there.

First-time experience is most important, I think.

No link back from a proposal to the conference schedule

I have a link, i.e. https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/conference/osc14/proposal/160 and I want to see the rest of the conference (maybe even what is running in parallel).
But the web site does not provide me with a link back to the conference schedule so I have to manually edit the URL.

Admin Menu header state

• I go to /admin/conference/dps14
• The drop down toggle to choose the conference is at "Conferences"

Expected outcome: It should show "dsp14"

Comment Notifications

We have comments on events but no notifications for new comments.

Live streams

Add support for room specific live streams to the schedule.

Proposal Edit throws error

Proposal Edit page throws the following error:

You tried to define a scope named "public" on the model "EventAttachment", but Active Record already defined a class method with the same name.

The problems seems to be the following line
https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/blob/master/app/models/event_attachment.rb#L5

I have searched he project for "EventAttachment.public" and there are no matches, so I think we could delete this line, couldn´t we?

Admin Menu Settings header

• I go to /admin/conference/dps14
• I click on "Settings"
• Nothing happens

Expected outcome: I get to /admin/conference/dps14/edit

Webpage having redirect loop on password reset

Whenever a user tries to reset the password, the webpage gets stuck in a redirect loop.And the user cannot succesfully reset the forgotten password.

Event Splash Pages for Visitors

Currently we don't have event specific entry pages, only the global event list on the home page. Depending on the amount of events an OSEM instance holds this might get confusing fast.

We should have event specific splash pages for visitors that sum up the event. These pages should be marketing-landing-pages that hold all the info that is important for the visitor. Basically what we have now of conference.opensuse.org or summit.opensuse.org.

• Event
  • Dates & Countdown
  • Description
  • Logo
• Location
  • Description
  • Getting there
  • Accommodation
  • Map
• Tickets
• Code of Conduct
• Social Media Links (Twitter, Facebook, G+)
• Program or Call for Papers
  • Tracks
  • Keynotes & Featured Speakers
  • Schedule
  • Speakers
• Press Information
• Sponsors
• Registration statistics
  • how many people will participate
  • Who is participating

Unregister for event

A user should be able to cancel his registration

Replace all description fields by suitable WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) editor plugins

At many places in conference.o.o the description contains embedded links, and formatting based on segments.So this is not possible with current description as text field, so replacing the description text with a plugin would be suitable.

Add price and currency to supporter level for visibility in the splash page

Currently, the supporter level consists of title and url. But for the splash another three things are required namely ticket pricing(float value), currency(flexible to choose) and the description about the current supporter level that is being added.

Event Splash Pages for Organizers

Currently we don't have event specific entry pages for organizers but we have a lot of useful data and statistics in OSEM.

We should have event specific splash pages for organizers that sum up the event.

• Registrations
  • Number of registrations
    *Development of registrations over time
    *Number of attendance
• Events
  • Number of events submitted
  • Development of submitted events over time
  • Number of events accepted
  • New withdrawn events
  • Distribution of event types
  • Total time available modulo Time of submitted events
  • Distribution of events in tracks
• Social Events
  • Development of registrations over time
  • Number of registrations
• Volunteers
  • Distribution of volunteer roles
• Tickets
  • Development of ticket "sales" over time
  • Distribution of ticket types

One should also make use of User.last_sign_in_at and inform Organizers of what happened since their last login.

• Since your last login
  • there are N new registrations
  • there are N new events
  • there are N new Volunteers
  • there are N new tickets sold
  • sadly the event X, Y and Z where withdrawn

Supporter levels

Currently we have several issues with support levels:
e.g.

• No code validation
• Misleading name
• Selling via a third party component

Because of that @hennevogel and I decided to hide it in the admin menu. But @gopesht needs this "feature" for the user splashpage. So I think at this point we have to discuss how we want to continue with supporter levels!

More embed codes for events

My plan is to allow a couple of embed codes.

• Videos
• Slideshare decks
• Image slideshows

Campaign function

It would be a nice feature to create marketing campaigns directly in OSEM and generate statistics about the success for the organizer dashboard.

We can use the Ahoy gem for this.
http://ankane.github.io/ahoy/

Schedule Versioning

Having a "schedule proposal" page would be good as well, so team members can iterate through them before deciding which to use. Diffs maybe?

Event Volunteers

Organizers should be able to indicate volunteer positions for the event and visitors should be able to indicate that they are willing to fill those positions.

Setup hound app for style checks

Feature Request: control what is visible on the event overview page

Hey awesominals,

OSEM always shows the CFP and tracks on the conf page. That's not desirable for all events - like ours, which has essentially one track. Also, we'd like to keep the CfP kind'a secret, we have plenty of ideas for who can talk so we'll send them a CfP link but otherwise are not really looking for ppl to submit stuff.

See our page here: https://occ.owncloud.org/conference/OCC14

Cannot open talks in separate tabs

I am on an unreliable network and I want to preload data. When opening, i.e. https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/conference/osc14/schedule, I expected to be able to middle click the talks to load them in several tabs. That, however, does not work and I cannot preload the abstracts of the talks.

Event edit page throws ArgumentError

It seems like this line makes the problem
https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/blob/master/app/models/comment.rb#L2

Admin Menu Schedule

• I go to /admin/conference/dps14/events
• I click on "Schedule"
• I end up on /admin/conference/dps14/schedule which is the "edit" so to speak.

Expeted result: I can have a look at the schedule and press "edit" when I want to.

Talk details do not show the room of the talk

When opening a talk, e.g. https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/conference/osc14/proposal/203, I cannot see the room the talk is being given in. I expected to be able to see all the information associated with the talk on its details page.

Replace Model.all method calls

Model.all is removed in Rails 4.1
https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/blob/master/app/controllers/admin/users_controller.rb#L5-L11

Send useful emails to visitors

It would be a nice feature to send emails directly from OSEM

• Conference invitations
• Reminder mail for visitors 2 days before the conference
• Welcome package at the start of the event (on scheduled arrival)
• Reminder mail for speakers 15 minutes before the scheduled event
• Thank you mail after the conference

This should include tracking of actions afterwards with something like ahoy_email

Link video URLs to speaker entries

It would be great if someone adds all Youtube videos from presentations into user's presentation description page.

Youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_AMhvchzBafyMDGuvBmtb45mhmukdLOP

More roles

Currently we have the roles

Admin
Organizer
Participant

But there are other roles for events too, like

Speaker
Volunteer
Press

These roles are also not configurable from the app (only from the seeds file). An Admin should be able to setup more roles from the UI. Roles also don't have a description. What is the difference between Admins and Organizers? This should be clear. Also roles are global and not per event.

Translation

Setting up translation tool for OSEM.

Transifex is for free for open source projects:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osem

But I have no idea how to produce the initial translation file that must be uploaded in transifex, so that the translation can begin.
Supported formats for translation file:
http://docs.transifex.com/developer/formats/

Delete Users

An admin should be able to delete users.

Unicode name breaks

When I tried to fill in my name, after saving it became "Michal ?iha?" so I guess the database connection is not using unicode and it then breaks.
