Registration Page
Posted by Steven Feldman on February 14, 2013
I have drafted the text for the registration page and shared with you at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lTID7SGicsVZqWZQllRPgq3eY6q8PzGW_vmYMFNXvTk/edit
Comments? Check dates (I have only put 1 day in for the hack and 1 for the workshops which is what I think we agreed). Any changes are needed pretty soon.
Mark has set up the eventbrite for the hackathon which shows as not open yet, see http://hackathonfoss4g2013.eventbrite.com/
Claire, can you start to update the registration system with these descriptions, prices and dates.
Barry/Jo/Antony can you turn this text into a registration page on the site (but don't publish until Claire confirms that changes are made to registration system.
This is where it starts to get exciting

The Hackathon is showing the date 13th September.

Does everyone have a mobile phone or want to share the number? It's a required field.
When I click "Full conference" for registration, it's not clear why other options suddenly appear. Also, do I need to book accommodation too? There should be some more explanation of what needs booking, what's optional, etc.
When I select "accommodation" it then opens up day-by-day choices. Could there be a "select all" button for either the hotel or halls (which selects the overnights during the full conference but not before or after)? It's awkward to have to select all the right options (and prone to error, I suspect). Also, maybe put the day of the week as well as date for each day.
It's a shame that the maps & directions link at the end goes to Google Maps which has no site details for the uni! If you want a commercial service with routing, Bing does much better: http://binged.it/VfozKm or there's OSM: Shortlink
Generally looks good though!

I thought the description at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lTID7SGicsVZqWZQllRPgq3eY6q8PzGW_vmYMFN… was pretty clear about booking accommodation etc
I think you are being a bit finickety re the individual day selections for accommodation but I agree that putting the day names (Monday ...) into the listings would help to avoid confusion. Claire can you do this.
Re the map link, I agree with Jeremy we should use the link to OSM above.
Any word from Barry, Jo or Antony on getting the registration page on the site up?

Can you message me with login details
Getting old and forgetful, too many passwords
Steven Feldman on February 14, 2013:
Maybe the site is down?
Jo Cook on February 14, 2013:
The site locked you out because you tried too many passwords :-) I've released the lock and hopefully emailed you a new password. Please change it!

The reset password works ok for me - can someone else try it?

Thanks

Registration stuff is live. I am vaguely unhappy with the way that the "proceed to..." bits are squashed at the bottom on some of the pages- I can't currently work out why this is happening, but I'll sort. If you spot any problems, let me know!

Does anything need doing to indicate that the hackathon registration is open- eg is there a link that needs to be added to the registration pages somewhere?
