Volunteers management system for the FOSDEM conference

fosdem-volunteers

Volunteers management system for conferences, originally written for FOSDEM.

Development setup

After cloning the repo do these steps:

1. Create a python environment using python3 eg: virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 ./venv and activate this environment whenever working on the project (all other steps assume this)

   source ./venv/bin/activate
   

2. Install all dependencies in the environment:

   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   

3. create a volunteer_mgmt/localsettings.py file you can copy volunteer_mgmt/localsettings_example.py as a starting point. By default this uses a sqlite3 database.

4. set up the initial database:

   ./manage.py migrate
   

5. make sure that all static files are collected

   ./manage.py collectstatic
   

6. create a superuser:

   ./manage.py createsuperuser
   

7. run a development server:

   ./manage.py runserver
   

   which should give you: http://localhost:8000/

8. in the admin interface http://localhost:8000/admin/ - make sure you create an edition before adding any other things
