We are pleased to announce the first stable release of the Open Source Event
|
|
Manager (OSEM), a event management application tailored to free software
|
|
conferences. OSEM helps your community with the paper submission/selection
|
|
process, registration of attendees and the marketing of your event.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em>1.0</em> release contains more than 1.800 inidividual contributions from over
|
|
30 free software hackers. It has powered the last four
|
|
<a href="https://events.opensuse.org/">openSUSE</a> and three
|
|
<a href=" https://conference.owncloud.org/">ownCloud</a> conferences with over
|
|
1.000 attendees and 500 paper submissions. It is a proven, stable and
|
|
enjoyable project that we think is more than ready for general consumption.

<h2>Communicate the value of your event</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Confernces are about bringing the people of your community closer together.
|
|
Gathering in one place strengthens the relationships, makes communication
|
|
easier and will create lasting shared memories. But to get people to take up
|
|
travel and come to your event you need to convince them that it's worth it.
|
|
OSEM helps you do that by taking all the data of your event (time, place,
|
|
program etc.) to build a web site for your conference with all the information
|
|
the attendees need. Communicate the value of your event and convince people to
|
|
register & buy tickets.

<h2>Inspire your community with content</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Your event will only be as good as the content your community presents. It's
|
|
the knowledge, inspiration and joy from the talks, workshops and social events
|
|
that people will take home with them. It's the content that will spark new
|
|
ideas and leap your project forward. To get the best program together OSEM
|
|
makes it super easy for your speakers to submit proposals and equally smooth
|
|
for your organizers to classify, evaluate and schedule submissions.

<h2>Know your conference</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. - Kofi Annan
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's important for you as an event organizer to know about the evolution of
|
|
your event. Do you have enough content to fill your schedule? How many people have registered? Do you have the <em>right</em>
|
|
content for your audience? Which of your blog posts, tweets, banners drove the
|
|
most people to your event? OSEM will help you answer these questions with a
|
|
data driven dashboard. Get an 30.000 feet overview or dive into all the nitty
|
|
gritty details at any point in time.
