I've made a full project node for the Cream distribution at https://drupal.org/project/cream

I started a new project rather than use aburrows' sandbox since the repo for that has all of core and the contrib modules in its history from before this was using a makefile -- best to start from fresh :)

The -dev release should be packaged soon. See the README for installation instructions. If you want to clone from git, the README also has instructions on how to use the makefile.

What's in the box so far:

  • roles
  • node types and entity types for building a schedule
  • views for showing timetables of your sessions showing timeslots and rooms. Each schedule automatically shows a timetable, and there is a master timetable of all schedules at /schedule.

Quick content building instructions to get started:

  • create a schedule node. This represents a single day of sessions.
  • in the form for the schedule, enter the timeslots. You can leave these till later
  • create room entities at admin/structure/entity-type/room/room (note that due to a bug in ECK, the 'organiser' role won't see this path in the admin menu
  • start creating sessions. participants can create sessions, but can't set their room or timeslot
  • on the schedule node, use the 'manage timeslots' link to access the form that allows you to place sessions into all the timeslots

Awesome!

I'm happy more people care on improving tools for event organisation.

I have opened a request about collaboration with the COD team:

It would be very interesting to hear about the background of this (intended?) split.
