The project is in transition, moving to Github for the 2.0 release. Please bear with us in the meantime!This site will still be maintained as a place to get public releases of the project.
Project DescriptionThe EventServer goal is to create an application to be used to run multi-session, multi-track, multi-day conference. Much like CodeMash, DevLink, TechFest, CodeCamps, etc.
EventServer is a MicroCMS, meaning that it is an application that is designed to solve a very specific problem that contains some CMS functionality. EventServer is not a CMS whith complicated module and theme architectures. EventServer does however have parts of the site that can be updated without requiring the code to be modifed. Our focus on in-place administration has taken advantage of CMS like functionality to allow you to spend your time organizing the event, not creating a site for it. The Event Server project has a very narrow focus on the problem we are trying to solve without increasing the skills required to maintain or customize.
