Team:Web

About

We're responsible for the main website as well as all the various other bits that fit with it, such as the wiki, map, volunteer system and badge backend. We provide operational support before and during the event to ensure people can use these as seamlessly as possible.

Volunteering

Currently there're only a few of us and we mostly organise via Github and IRC . We welcome help from both experienced people and anyone who wants to learn more, and it's easy for us to slice out some small self-contained bits if you're not sure about diving straight in. Our amount of free time and ability to make changes drops as the event approaches, so come talk to us!

Current State

We have two major projects and some minor ones at the moment:

Major jobs

• Volunteering: after wrangling with CCC's Engelsystem last year, we've decided to rewrite it in RustPython. This involves capturing a small amount of extra information from volunteers, co-ordinating shifts and reminding people when they're needed.
• Web app: on the back-burner for a long time, we're building a PWA that brings volunteer shifts, talk schedules and event-wide notices into a single app that works on any modern browser.

Minor jobs

• Automated deployment for our services (Puppet)
• Pentesting and security review for our new volunteer system
• Replacing our mailing list provider (this doesn't need to be done before the 2018 event)

Services we're already responsible for

• Ticketing and arrivals
• Selling merchandise (e.g. t-shirts)
• Call for Participation, talk review system and scheduling
• Authentication for separate systems (previously Engelsystem and the badge API)
• Wiki, badge wiki and archived wikis
• Map/tile server
• Monitoring (Grafana)
