[Inpycon] Opening registrations

[kunal ghosh]

In the registration acknowledgement slip we can have barcodes printed.
http://www.eventbrite.com/ has that option , and it is also capable enough
to manage pre-event registrations. ( their services would
have an option of pre-payment and also it would be free for us . (Non profit
organization ) )

workflow 1: Participants with pre-booking.
a. have the participant print out the acknowledgement slip with the bar
code.
b. the moment they come at the registration desk. a person with a barcode
reader scans his slip, matches to see if it is legitimate.
c. If it is legitimate , he is passed on to the next desk to collect the
swags.

workflow 2: Walk - In participants ( The difficult part )
a. We have a second Queue, with another barcode reader , the walking
participant hands over his ID card (Office id / College id )
    and has the barcode on it scanned. ( Most Id cards have bar codes
). ( *Does
anyone has an experience working with barcode readers ? different cards
would have different format for storing the data* )
b.1 If the card has barcode and the data is read correctly, he goes to the
payment and swag collection counter.
b.2 if the card doesn't have a barcode or the data isn't read correctly ,
the participant has to register manually.
