BoF: Is there life after the barf?

Time to replace Pentabarf — What with and how?

Pentabarf has been our constant partner ever since DebConf7. It is a great, very capable conference management system... With some major usability flaws. And quite problematic to hack on. Very idiosincratic. It is the only system I have ever hacked that is very likely not only to make you barf (five times!), but to get a goddess angry. We want to move away from it. It will not be a trivial task, as all of DebConf's historic data must remain available. We don't want to delay this for too long, as some months from now we will already be using it for information for DC13. So, we must act. Come to this session if you are interested in being part of the solution!
