Thanks to Ruan and Euan for getting it up and running. Feedback from everyone welcome. Sign-ups (name, email address and comment) for attendees and speakers are stored in the database and available via the Django admin interface. Emails to team at za.pycon.org are currently directed to me (Neil -- shout if you want them back). I created an account (pyconza2012 at gmail.com) for mail to be sent to, but Google want to check it and that's a little tricky given that they don't appear to be able to SMS me while I'm out of the country. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out tomorrow somehow.

Another small issue: The sign-up form pop-up is also slow to load and the submit button doesn't work until the page is completely loaded and the JS has run (I think). This creates a confusing situation where the user can click on the submit button and have nothing happen. Is it possible to make the sign-up page work as soon as it's visible?

There are a number of Python developers working throughout the continent that feel quite disconnected from the general Python community. Unicef in particular, is a heavy user of Django (through their RapidSMS product), but they are struggling to find developers with any kind of Python experience. I suggest that we make an effort to reach out to people throughout the continent working on/with Python, particularly with a view on creating interest in a potentially running AfroPython in future. It would also be great to get talks from teams who have successfully launched Python projects in some very challenging environments (like Unicef with the Maternal/Child projects). Finally, Matt Berg pointed out that we should not ignore the Francophone developer community who are also quite active throughout Africa. With that in mind, what is the easiest way to build a general marketing distribution list? And how do we add contacts to it?

I don't have any wireframes but I've attempted a detailed outline of the site below. I'm basing my thinking on the EuroPython 2012 (https://ep2012.europython.eu/) and PyCon US 2013 (https://us.pycon.org/2013/) sites. == Top navigation bar == A black top navigation bar with links for: * Home, About, Where, Schedule, Speakers, Sponsors The About button should have a sub-menu with: * What is PyCon ZA? * Diversity Statement (see Trello for content) * Code of Conduct (see Trello for content) * Staff Contact Information == Home == Below the navigation bar I think it would be good to have a full-width area with the PyCon ZA logo and dates and buttons for registering as an attendee and offering a talk (e.g. as on https://ep2012.europython.eu/). Sponsorship logos should go below that (with a "Sponsor PyCon ZA" button that leads to the sponsor page). Those are the important things for the front page. Some copy about the conference will need to go below that but we can decide on what exactly to put there once we have a first draft. == Where == At the top we need an official address for the venue and a map. Below that we need information about how to acquire accommodation (I have contact details for someone we could use to find accommodation for people if needed), advice on travelling to the venue and maybe something about important things to do in Cape Town. == Schedule == The draft schedule document is at https://docs.google.com/a/praekeltfoundation.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArtGEjT77bXodHlZZU5kQzRkczl1RktaX2lBNFd0LUE#gid=0. I'd like the schedule page n the PyCon ZA site to become the canonical source of schedule information. A table of information with venues as columns and time slots as rows seems sensible. Days should be clearly separated. Entries should link to pages on the individual talks (we'll only have these once we have speakers). The link text should give the talk title and the name of the speaker (again we'll only have those later). == Speakers == This will double both as a featured speakers page and as an information for speakers page. Featured speakers can go at the top once we have them (maybe a feature speaker box can be added to the front page eventually too). For the moment it just needs to say that we're looking for speakers, and what the format of talks is (30 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions, potentially longer for keynotes if desired). == Sponsors == This needs a big area with all the current sponsors at the top and information about how to sponsor below that. There are three sponsorship tiers (Platinum, Gold and Silver). Copy about the sponsorship options available should be obtained from Wendy, I think. == Registration and Speaker sign-up == I think we went through all the information that needed to be capture previously. Shout if you need me to go look up my notes. I'm pretty sure that's enough to get started with. Hopefully I haven't left anything important out. Comments and feedback welcome. Shout if you'd like this thrown up onto a Google doc somewhere for editing (or feel free to do it and send me a link).

The breakdown of downloads was as follows: iOS (40.6%) Android (41.9%) Mobile Web (17.4%) (But of course, PyCon targets a slightly different demographic.) There was a fair bit of feedback on The Twitters that people liked the GuideBook, and since it was free, and trivial to set up (you can import a google calendar directly, and there were one or two other integrations, if I recall?), I see no downside in having it as an option. Turns out that EventBoard is free for your first event too: http://www.eventboardmobile.com/pricing.html - so their kind offer of a free trial isn't so kind :) On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Simon de Haan wrote: > An app needs to be installed on the device: > http://www.eventboardmobile.com/howitworks.html. > I'm -1 primarily because I think Twitter & Lanyrd combined fill this space > pretty good already. > > On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 11:09 PM, Simon Cross wrote: > >> EventBoard emailed the team at za.pycon.org address to offer a free >> EventBoard account for PyCon ZA.
