Volunteer & programme participant services #26

Open lebanonsky opened 8 years ago

Wouldn't it be great if you could make sure that you could put in your volunteer hours, show up to your own panels, and even see the items that you want, without all of them being scheduled on top of each other? We think so, but for that we'll need to synchronise quite a bit of data. Would you care to help us make every fan's con a little bit more efficient?

Some useful info (hopefully). W75 will be using Grenadine for the programme planning. We will also be developing a mechanism to sync the membership data from the W75 API to Grenadine (via the web-sockets) so that the programme division knows who is registered etc. So once programme participants (speakers etc) have been assigned to items (and those items published) that is also available within the Grenadine planner.

We will soon have APIs that can be used to retrieve such information (on of our team is already working on extending the API for Vidcon).

We also have an existing model in the system for people's schedules (used by the mobile app and generated site) for their "my programme/schedule" functionality.
