This application has been designed to support the application process for OpenCon 2017, the conference and community empowering the next generation to advance open access, open education and open data. It collects applications to attend the conference and facilitates a multi-step community rating process.
We have also published the code for [OpenCon 2015] and [OpenCon 2016].
This application is using docker-compose. The examples below are for the development version of the app using the development version: dev.yml.
Follow the steps Getting your computer ready, Setting up the application and Creating users from the README in Connect OER, they are identical. Once your computer is ready, run the development server:
docker-compose -f dev.yml up
After this, you can open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9121. To access the administrative area, go to http://localhost:9121/admin.
It is also necessary to create .env file in the root of the project containing the project settings, e.g.:
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=noreply@opencon2017.org
DEFAULT_REPLYTO_EMAIL=opencon@sparcopen.org
EMAIL_HOST_USER=exampleuser
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=examplepassword
EMAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
DOWNLOAD_SECRET=somerandomstring
Prospective OpenCon attendees submit applications which are then passed through several rounds of ratings, named Round 0 (simple Yes/No rating), Round 1 (done by the OpenCon alumni) and Round 2 (carried out by the Organizing Committee).
If the app is updated as the rating process is in progress (e.g. when opencon/application/models.py file is changed, opencon/application/constants.py is changed or rating logic is updated), it is necessary to recalculate the values already stored in the database using docker-compose -f dev.yml run django python manage.py recalculate_ratings.
