Re: [school-discuss] Open Source Management System for Conventions needed?

["Stewart Ives" <ivessm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Les,

I'd very much be interested in your system.  I'm a (basically) one man
registration guy that provides on-site registration systems for conferences
and trade shows.  The system I use is a UNIX based system written by me back
in the late 80's.  Yes, it's dated BUT every conference/trade show I have
supported have given me positive comments during the registration process
about just how easy the registration system is compared to a Windoz based system.

I suspect you use a LAMP type system? or what?

Thanks.
