The reason for the rewrite include source code simplification, added features, shift focus to more traditional academic conferences. Conf2py is in production since August 2010 for the 6th High End Visualization Workshop in Austria: http://vizworkshop.cct.lsu.edu/viz2010/ SOME FEATURES ======== - Single Sign-On using Open ID (Google) or OAuth (Facebook, MySpace, etc.) via Janrain.com, or local registration/login process. - Conference Fee Payment with Credit Card via Authorize.Net (no need for secondary login) - Default registration fields include: first name, last name, email, web page, address, company, profile text, image, type of registration, optional tutorial registration (multiple tutorials supported), food preferences, arrival date and departure date, accompanying family members (for optional hotel pre-registration). The list of fields is easily extensible. - Configurable billing policy based on time dependent conference rate for different roles and variable number of tutorials/sessions. - Configurable coupon discounts and coupon cancellation - Users can register other users and pay for them. - First page displays a slideshow - Arbitrary number of wiki pages using the markmin syntax - Wiki pages allow embedding of widgets such as "comments" or "videos" or "tagging" or "latex". - Automatic computation of geographical latitude and longitude and display of attendees on map. - Paper submission and review management with roles: author, editor, review.

The communication between editor and reviewer is invisible to the author. The identity of the reviewer is invisible to the author. The editor, based on reviewer recommendation can accept/reject a paper. Accepted papers are automatically published (a paper can be in any format and can include slides). - Paper publishing with bibtex support - Management interface with roles: manager, editor, reviewer, author (same person can have multiple roles depending on the paper).
