It has been a while since I posted my last FSOSS blog...  I finally started to work on FSOSS site lol... First thing I did is to get the new proposal form up...

The old form was ported from FSOSS 2007 site.  It's not Drupal site.  The form only provided couple basic function for registration.
Here is how it works: 
- Presenter submitted the form
- The form sent a notification email to the FSOSS staffs
- FSOSS staff had to create accounts and presentation/workshop node based on the data of the email... (This step is duplicated work... and waste of time... )

Therefore... A new form is born... I have rewritten the proposal submission form using Drupal's Form API in the past few days.... The last step is replaced by clicking checkboxes and buttons... lol
In the new form:
- Presenter submits the form
- Speaker accounts and a presentation/workshop node create automatically... but they are not visible on the presentation list and speaker page until FSOSS staff approves them.
- The form send a notification email to the FSOSS staffs
- FSOSS staff clicks couple checkboxes to approve accounts and nodes.

Now I need testers.... May you guys do me a flavor?... Please test it... http://fsoss.senecac.on.ca/2009/PresentationProposal .... 

After you submit the form... You and your fellow "speakers" should get 2 emails.... one is account infomation mail which contains your username and password... another one is a notification mail which is a copy of submitted form data.

Thanks in advance...
