NAME

MCT - Mojo conference toolkit

DESCRIPTION

MCT is a Mojolicious based web application for running conferences.

THIS PROJECT IS UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT. ANY CHANGES CAN HAPPEN.

Features

The features below are ideas for what might be implemented:

• Single sign on with OAuth2

  We do not want to store user passwords, so instead we should use Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 to connect existing systems to MCT.

• Talk admin

  All conference users can post talks. Conference admins can move talks into a schedule by accepting or rejecting talks.

• News

  A very simple Text::Markdown based editor for news items and generation of an atom news feed.

• User management

  Simple user groups need to be implemented: Admin and regular users.

• Wiki

  A very simple Text::Markdown based editor for wiki pages.

REQUIREMENTS

• A PostgreSQL database.

  Conference data, user information and talks are stored in the local database.

SYNOPSIS

Create databases

Below is how you would create the databases in Ubuntu/Debian:

$ sudo -u postgres createuser $USER
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O $USER mct_development
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O $USER mct_production
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O $USER mct_test

Below is a nifty command that is usefule while developing. This command will drop all the tables in a database:

$ psql -c 'drop schema public cascade;create schema public' mct_test

Production

To use the default settings, simply start the application with hypnotoad:

$ hypnotoad /path/to/mct/script/mct;

Development

To start developing, it's suggested to start mct with these options:

# MCT_MOCK: Mock interaction with GitHub and other third parties
#       -w: Watch the directories for changes in case AssetPack need
#           to rebuild the static files.

$ MCT_MOCK=1 morbo script/mct -w public/sass -w public/js -w lib
