At UKLUG this year, Warren announced that we would be making the template which we use to run the online elements of the LUG available on OpenNTF. Well I finally got around to making the template and uploading the bits and pieces onto OpenNTF (actually a surprisingly easy process!).
Anyway, if you’re interested then you can download the template from here: LUG Template
As Warren mentioned, we’re looking for help. At the moment there is no documentation at all, so it can be a little painful to get set up, just ask Chris, or Mitch or Stuart or any of the other people who are already using it for their own LUGs! The app itself is simple enough, but it registers people in different DA databases, integrates into other elements on your server, sends email etc etc.
So if you can help then please drop me a line and I will put together a list of elements that we need help with. Of course I’m also looking for help with bug fixing and improving various elements of the application as I’ve not been able to devote as much time as I would like to it this year.
Finally, I’d just like to give a big hand to Warren. I suspect the amount of work that he puts in to UKLUG (and ILUG) goes rather underestimated and it was him who drove the original development of the application and then made the decision for it to be given back to the Lotus community.
Guys
An awesome gesture to the community. Thanks all!!
Thanks a lot. This is a great contribution to OpenNTF. I hope other new LUGs will actually use this and help extending.
Thanks a lot for this great database.
We used it for LUGTR 2011 conference and I am also wide open to any questions.
Thank you Matt and Warren. A great addition to the OpenNTF arsenal!
Happy to help with testing and some of the documentation. You wouldn't want my admin fingers on your lovely code!
Matt – thanks for all of the help with the template over the last couple of years for Tri State LUG, and for now making it more widely available via OpenNTF.
If I can help contribute some documentation I would be glad to help
A big "thank you" to you and Warren. I used this template for SkiLUG and would be glad to help where I can.
We just wanted to send a huge thanks to Matt and Warren from IamLUG for the amazing template. We have all put our own twists into it, but the real driving force and chief fixer of issues has been Matt. He did an awesome job, on his own time, in fixing any issues we encountered.
