Welcome
COD is a "Conference Organizing Distribution" meant to make it easy to build a site for manage events with features like session submission, registration, user profiles, forums, and logistical information.
You should use COD if you are building a site for a conference like a Drupalcamp or Barcamp, for an organization that offers trainings, for a Drupalcon perhaps, for a music venue that wants to sell tickets online without using ticketmaster, etc.

Time Slot creation in beta2
We are currently running a production site based on the v7 alpha3. We are in the process of migrating to beta2.
One thing that we are running into is that when creating Times, the title display of the time in various places is 7 hours behind. E.g., if my first time slot is at Sept 4 at 7:30 am, it appears as
09/04/2014 - 00:30-09/04/2014 - 01:30.
Workflow for registering for Event where registrant is also ticket holder.
I have a live COD site. We're using 6.x right now and I'm starting to work toward converting to 7.
I love the ticket module and how it separates out the registrant from registered. This is how many of my client's people register. (They ask their admin assistant to do it)
Using COD? Let us know!
Have you been using COD? We want to find out! As we roll beta in, the maintainers are interested in helping your conference be successful. Fill out this form and let us know what you think. By submitting contact information, someone from the maintainers team will get in touch and see how we can help. It'll also be a way to get announcements when new versions come out.
Take the survey here: http://bit.ly/UVJ7IX
And if you have questions, you can drop in #drupal-cod on freenode! Look for jyee, dyannenova, japerry, or mrconnerton for help.

Choose time slot for session?
Hi!
I'm new to Drupal, although not to CMSs more generally.
I've successfully installed Drupal COD 7. It works nicely, although it has taken a couple of hours to get acquainted with the system. Thank you for providing this excellent distribution!
Read moreCOD 7.x is in Beta!
Thanks to everyone sprinting this week, we put over 250 combined hours on getting COD into a stable state and released our first beta at Drupalcon Austin!
Major new features from the alphas (Before Jan):
Transitioned from Entity Registration to Ticket module
Having a proper registration system that meets the needs of camps, cons, and non-drupal events has been a source of pain and work-arounds in the 7.x version of COD (and registration in general). The ticket module changes much of this by re-architecting to a data model similar to eventbrite.
Read moreCOD Sprint Review from NYC Camp
I was somewhat overwhelmed at the amount of people who are trying to use COD, and found out a bit of that first hand this weekend. I'm happy to say beta is coming along very nicely, and we've made some great progress in the past few months...
Thanks to the NYC Camp team for input and showing me how they've used COD for their site, I'm looking forward to integrating their improvements upstream, especially the dashboards. MongoDB was there, Jason working on Ticket Module, and Emilie has written a new base theme for COD based on Omega4.

Need help getting the Schedule to work in COD 7
I am relatively new to Drupal, and therefore unsure if this is the best place to ask this, but here goes....
I am in urgent need of a COD developer to help me with a key part of COD that is not working: the schedule. I am a developer working at WICHE (wiche.edu), and we would very much like to use COD for a large annual conference later this year, but I am now behind schedule on the project due to this obstacle.
I am working with COD version cod-7.x-1.0-alpha4+1-dev, which is built on Drupal 7.24.
Read moreHow to create a Schedule in COD 7?
I've learned a lot about how COD 7 works in the last couple of weeks, still haven't quite figured out the view cod_session_schedule. (This is for the version cod-7.x-1.0-alpha4+1-dev)
The documentation has not quite kept up with the development of this great application, so the existing videos and docs don't help much. I can create all the components of a schedule -- time slots, rooms, sessions, speakers -- but how to get the preview to appear in cod_session_schedule is still an elusive mystery.
