Well there's always Pentabarf, which is what ConFuzzled uses at the moment, having mostly tamed it (or worked out ways around its "quirks" at least). Hasn't been updated by the original developer for two years though.  :(  Apart from that, there don't appear to be any open source scheduling systems available.

Cheers,

Southie

Hmm... what do you think, would the person who's maintaining it for CFZ be able to set up a second "tamed" instance, this time for Eurofurence? Our Programming department were supposed to try pentabarf this year, but all the people with the technical skills to do so are caught up in different situations (school, job, etc ...) this year that prevent them from doing so, and riffuchs himself is already taking over too many things by himself, bringing him close to burnout.

would be great to know ... we could also need such a system if its working fine ... but for our size we could maybe still do it "manually"

Let me add a thing regarding Pentabarf: It is also used by DebConf, the annual Debian Developer Conference. As you might imagine, there are a lot of skilled programmers and experienced sysadmins inside the Debian project, which (and the fact that AFAIC the CCC is still using it, too) makes me very certain that security flaws will be fixed quickly. Well, maybe Pentabarf will just be an apt-get install away sometimes?

With BerliCon being just about a week away, Riffuchs (and the rest of the BC staff, uhm, me included) is quite busy with preparations for it. I'd say after some few relaxing days after the con communication flow will increase again. As far as I know he is aware of the things sent by e-mail or the things happening on the board relevant for programming and other ConOps stuff; and knowing Riffuchs, he surely already made personal notes.

So just be patient, nothing will be forgotten. : )

I think it was mostly Matt Lion who set up Pentabarf. Might be worth if you send him a nice mail, chairperson to chairperson, and ask him nicely ^.^
