Project

Hello World!

We've now defined what our project will be. It's going to be a stand manager for expositions. The first version is going to be designed only for square rooms.

The main functionalities of our project mainly divide in two, the exposition's organizer and the expositors which will pay for stands.

The organizers will be able to choose the size of the exposition center and determine how the area is going to divide in different stands, mark the WCs and doors of the room and of course determine charging rules for stands.

With this input, the software will be able to generate the expo's layout, save it into a database and provide a special link for the organizer for this event.

The expositors will be required to book their stands by visiting the unique link the organizer will give them. They're going to be able to see which spaces are available, book them, read about payment and discount rates information and so on.
This is the main idea of our project. We'll be giving out more details on later posts. For now, this is it.

Cheers
-Deco

License!

Hi!

Now we have to see what license we choose to enable it carry out our open source project.

We select the license of "GNU General Public License v3," because this gives us the opportunity for people outside the original team can contribute and that this license gives them the freedom to make changes to the original work.

In addition to one of the secondary objectives of this project and to make known its evolution through the blog is to make sure that you can have more quality options regarding this type of project, and assure that you will have permission legal to copy and distribute this version of the project.

We know that many people questioned why we use this license because we are giving permission to use our work and perhaps people maliciously say it is their job. Well the truth is that we are confident that it will make good use of our work, and that will give us credit if you use our code to generate a new application.

To learn more about the license, here is the ofiacial page:

Welcome

Hello, im Diego García.

I'm studying a major in computer technologies. I've been developing web systems professionally for more than one ear; mainly using technologies such as php, Javascript, Ajax, CSS and some Flex.

I must admit I am excited about this project not only because it actually sounds fun but also because I will learn about a new technology, Python¹. This will support my career as a web developer and will increase my portfolio and knowledge in general.

Currently we are still in the creative stage of the project and we are still figuring out which problematic will our project solve.

Cheers.

Welcome!

Hola, soy Belén Fernández!

Actualmente me encuentro estudiando la ingeniería en sistemas computacionales. He tenido varios encuentros con proyectos de desarroyo de software durante mi carrera pero creo que este al ser tema libre es un poco más interesante.

Aqui pondremos nuestros avances y tropezones durante el tiempo que estemos trabajando en este proyecto. Cada vez que tengamos una actualización trataremos de ponernos al corriente escribiendo que es lo que llevamos hecho.

Nosotros somos:

Belissa (Belen Fernandez)
