A new start...

We have decided to change our previous proposal. The are going to develop a new project, which will be a system oriented to manage the events organized by the Computer Systems Students’ Association (AESC) of Tecnologíco de Monterrey, Campus Estado de Mexico.


Due to I am the treasurer of this association, I have realized that is necessary to implement this kind of system so that we can speed up processes related to creating and managing those events. Although this project was initially thinked just for AESC, we have realized that it would be advantageous to expand its use to any association that requires it. We have already talked with the relevant people of Associations and Student Groups (AGE) and Program Direction, and they seem very interested in this proposal. This creates possible chances that they could support the project with sponsorships.

Some of the functionality that the system will include is the following:
-Event creation.
-Event data and characteristics.
-Event requirements.
-Ticket sell.
-Event audience.
-Incomes and outcomes.
-People responsible of the event.
-Schedule of ticket sell.

The specialist in the topic will be Iadir Correa (me!, also one of the developers of the system), which is the one who will be using the system most of the times. Also we will have relevant people of AGE for extra support in specific topics of events management.

Google code and license

     We have selected the GPL v.2.0 license to be the official license of our project. We choose this license because it is important for us that all the code written in the project remains free to the public. We are looking forward to see other people interested in the project making changes to improve it. Thanks to this selection we have the security that all modifications would be published. Another point that we would like to emphasize is that people interested can take a look at the work that we made.

    One of the things that would excite us the most is that our program gets distributed in one way or another, and being able to develop software that could be useful to another person or group would be our first goal to archive. In general, by selecting this license, we want to encourage the distribution of our software to everyone that wants it, but also encourage the open source mode in future versions.

                With the application we have in mind people will be able to denounce different kinds of social problems (related to politics, economics, cultural, and others). The users will be able to point out their own opinion and also vote to determine whether the post is true, false or relevant. There will be a section in which the most popular news can be easily seen. When you submit a post, you will have to select your city, country and continent, to have a control on the topics and their locations. Therefore users will be able to locate the news according to their own region or region of interest.
