Re: [guadec-list] Online registration - alpha



> We need more testing! Pick a calculator, choose several options,

Basic testing has been done in the currently functional parts. However,
more testing is needed. We recommend you to emulate your real case (as
Dave did) in order to find real problems (as Dave found). It should take
you no more than 3 minutes, plus 1-2 minutes to send your report back. 

These 5 minutes of your time are really useful at this stage.

Please go to http://www.tristania.org/guadec/login.php and do as if you
were registering 'for real'. This first page is fake: invent your login
and UID, and put a real email address to check if you receive your
confirmation email at the end of the process. The rest of pages look as
they will be.

And now the details for those interested in more details.

Here comes the registration development night report. Hopefully the next
one will be the announcement of the beta release.  :) 

Devin and I have decided to apply a bit of GNOME release management in
order to declare the feature freeze. Features missing (like couples not
able to share bungalows) or new enhancement features (like a block in
the guadec.org homepage counting the registered participants) will be
discussed and implemented (if appropriate and feasible) after the beta
release. In the meantime you can expose them here as Dave has done or
submit them directly as bugs in bugzilla.


> > - Content revision + some texts still missing (Devin + qgil + you)

The texts are quite mature now. The GNOME Village and the Alternative
accommodagtion info pages are still pending (qgil).


> > - Drupal integration (user details and layout) (Devin + tavon)

The integration with Drupal virtually works, this is why we have now
this login.php page to introduce the user values. Today Wwednesday tavon
and Devin are going to plug the registration tool with guadec.org, and
test with real users.


> > - PayPal integration (Devin)

Devin says it will be done today Wednesday. 20 lines of code (or so) for
credit/debit and 20 more (or so) for paypal transfers. We are going to
use the account friends gnome org until the guadec gnome org account is
created (Dave). We will need to test with real payments before releasing
the beta.


> > - $USD calculation for US transfers. (Devin)

Fprgot to ask. Devin?

Done

Dear GUADEC lovers. Only Murray and Dave have sent their testing
reports, and both have been tremendously useful. Your report can make a
difference as well.

> > IMPORTANT: Does the GUADEC registration have VAT?

Yes, Chema says 16%. Once the beta is released we need to improve the
calculations in order to separate the VAT, for people requesting
invoices (another feature missing that will need to wait until after the
beta release).


We expect to release the beta registration in hopefully less than 24h
(all we want to sleep more), on Wednesday evening-night. The
registration tool will be functional and the registrations (and
payments) made will be real. Users will be warned that the tool is a
beta and we expect to solve the major bugs and implement the core
functionality missed before next Monday, leaving still 2 weeks of stable
registration with all the guarantees and discounts of the pre-April23rd
group.

That's all folks!
