Description

Many KDE Events (especially Akademy) need to issue Visa Invitation letters.

A tool that automates generation of the letters would be great.

Requirements:

  • User interfacing part should be preferrably done in events.k.o
  • Business logic/Backend can be done in another application
  • Conference attendee can enter her data into a form
  • Admins can create (per event) a template (e.g. in LaTeX)
  • Letter is created from data & template
  • Manual interaction can't be automated (printing it, signing it, scanning it, uploading it)
  • Signed letter is uploaded to the system
  • Attendee is automatically informed that the Visa Invitation letter was signed & can download it

Interaction:

  • Admins create the event on events.kde.org
  • Admins enable "Visa Invation requests" & upload a Visa invation letter template (can also happen later than when creating the event)
  • User registers on events.kde.org for an Event (e.g. Akademy) using their Identity account
  • User needs a Visa Invation, they click on "request VISA invation" after registering
  • They are taken to a dialog where they enter the information that is manually needed
  • Board is informed of the Visa invation request & can set the status of sponsorship & can accept the request
  • If request was rejected, attendee is informed
  • If request was accepted, attendee is informed that it was accepted
  • If accepted, out of the template & attendee data a letter is created
  • this letter is saved but also sent to the event admins (e.g. akademy-team)
  • event admins print the letter, make sure it is signed, scan the signed letter & upload the letter
  • the uploaded letter is sent to the attendee
