The first release of Flashlights, derived from the
PyLadiesCon portal.

  • Identity is configuration. The name, colours, logo, favicon, share
    image and links come from environment variables, so one image serves any
    community. The design system (tokens, self-hosted fonts and icons)
    restyles every page.
  • One instance per community, an edition per event. Editions are one
    event a year or a series of dates, with venues and rooms, a format (in
    person, online or hybrid), recordings and community chat as settings,
    and the next edition planned while the current one runs.
  • Permissions through teams. Each team grants permissions from a
    catalogue, with presets such as Organizers, Program, Sponsorship and
    Proposal reviewers; the settings organisers need left the Django admin.
  • Speakers. Invitations, profiles, sessions, two-sided checklists with
    reminders, the schedule, video and file uploads, and a public program
    widget and API.
  • Attendee records from Pretix or a CSV export, for the stats.
  • Handles per person: social links and pronouns belong to the account,
    and every form reads from them.
  • Runs on any host. The boot contract (web, worker, release) and
    the environment reference cover Heroku and compatibles, Azure, Cabotage
    and a plain server; switches turn off volunteering, sponsorship and the
    public stats.
  • Community apps add a Django app to the image with EXTRA_APPS, and
    may replace a core template or static file.
  • Documentation per release. Each release publishes its own version
    of the docs at https://docs.flashlights.app/X.Y.Z/, and
    latest/ follows the newest release.
  • Nothing loads from anywhere else. Every script, stylesheet, font and
    chart is served by the instance itself, with Dependabot watching the
    vendored libraries. Sentry receives personal data only with
    SENTRY_SEND_DEFAULT_PII on.
  • Free software under the GNU AGPL version 3, with a permission to run a
    modified copy for your own organisation's events.
