This is a collection Django-based apps that run the website of Riyadh Linux User Group (RLUG). This website, in Arabic, is used for managing events and registering attendees. In addition, contacts and sponsoring offers are received through the website.

Dependencies and Settings

The RLUG website was tested using Django 1.6.5 and Python 2.7.5. Additionally, it utilized the following freely-licensed Django apps:

• django-post_office
• django-datetime-widget
• django-bootstrap3

RLUG-required variables in settings.py (other than the variables required by DJANGO itself and the dependencies mentioned above):

• DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'info@riyadhlug.org' # The email address used for everything other than event notifications (currently: only contact emails.)
• CONTACT_EMAIL_RECIPIENTS = _['EMAIL_ADDRESS']- # A list of addresses that need to receive the incoming contact emails.
• CONTACT_SUBJECT_INTRO = '[RLUGroup] ' # The prefix used in the contact message subjects
• EVENT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_ADDRESS # The email address used for sending event notifications (currently: only contact emails.)

RLUG-required URLS in the project's url.py are:

# [...]
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
# [...]
urlpatterns = patterns('',
                   url(r'^$', 'core.views.home', name='home'),
                   url(r'^events/', include('events.urls', namespace='events')),
                   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
                   url(r'^contact/$', 'core.views.contact', name='contact'),
                   url(r'^charter/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='charter.html'), name='charter'),
                   url(r'^sponsor/$', 'core.views.sponsor', name='sponsor'),
                   url(r'^speak/$', 'core.views.speak', name='speak'),
                   url(r'^contact/thanks/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='thanks.html'), name='thanks'),
                   url(r'^about/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='about.html'), name='about'),
)

Additionally, we have a daily scheduled script that automatically sends reminders two days in advance of events, send_reminders.py. The cronjob we use is:

0 0 * * * send_reminders.py  >> send_reminders.log 2>&1
