I've few comments. We have some problem on sso, people some are registering with both debian and alioth, which cause some confusion. Could we link debian and alioth accounts? Should we improve the login page? Maybe we should start again summit from upstream (and with some discussion with upstream), so to make think more generalized (for all debconf) and cleaner schema. [ - On deployment a reference from attendee_id to user_id was lost - bursaries info are in different table need_food are never in the same table as need_accommodation - etc ] Also penta had similar issues, but I think if we can restart from zero (and using the positive experience and code of DC14) we could reduce the work porting summit and scripts from one DC to the next one, possibly coordinating with upstream. [and because the schema will be very similar, we can also easily port the data from DC14 to the generic version, if there is need, I can also port most of the info of penta to summit schema] Roles are still confusing (and not so much used). We need to improve this, so to delegate more. And IMHO we disclose too much information in schedule.
