we have the fossconf software written in django - it has all the features 
needed for a conference including rating of papers, hall allotment, scheduling 
etc etc. The only thing to be added is payment receipt module and of course, 
to upgrade to django 1.x. The team that built it is absconding, but anyone who 
wishes to work on it (some hard coded stuff needs to be removed) may contact 
me. The code is here:
