Organizing the chaos with the Lady of Discord Planning a conference in the hacking community is a tough job. Pentabarf is a new approach to finding a solution pulling things together in a web-based database application.
DescriptionPentabarf is a new open-source project that is still in its infancy but should evolve to a useful web application enabling people to organize conferences, workshop meetings and similar events. Building on the strength of PostgreSQL the first prototype has been developed using the PHP programming environment. Currently the project is in an evaluation phase reconsidering the technological base while continuing along the path originally set by the database design. Pentabarf is born out of the experience and needs of the Chaos Computer Club for organizing conferences, meetings, radio shows and other events. The software has originally been implemented for 21C3 and is the program comittee's tool for What The Hack as well. The talk will explain and discuss the current design and philosophy of the application and is open for feedback of any kind for future development. The software is distributed under GPL for open use and improvement.
