Three Django Apps in a Trenchcoat: Writing an event management website with not a lot of time
Come and hear how I wrote 3 Django apps in a trenchcoat to run a ~300+ person scout camp, from making event registration a breeze, to conducting everyone's movements throughout the entire event.

I want a ticket!In the last weekend of April this year, I helped to run Star Trek: Survival (https://startreksurvival.tech), a STEM-focussed, Star Trek-themed scout camp for all ages, 5 to 26 years. This talk will be about the software I wrote, including a registration system, the Star Trek Survival main website, and a system called RadioActiv8, which is used to keep track of where everyone is across the campsite, and send them to activities when there is capacity to do so. All of this was combined into a single project for maximum integration and ease of use.

They have a long background in Linux systems admin and software development, as well as strong interests in communication, empathy, consent, openness and transparency, privacy and security, diversity and inclusion. Matt identifies as a generalist, polymath, or multi-potentialite, and their breadth of interests often give them a unique perspective on how to relate to, and mediate between, people of different specialities.
