Intended to integrate with wafer.
This is a funding application that can be used with wafer. It is fairly minimal and specific to how PyCon ZA handles funding, but can be adapted for other conferences.
This is intended to automate the data related parts of the application - gathering budgets, making offers and recording delegate's decisions on whether to accept funding offers. It is not intended to handle the decision making process, nor does it handle the communication between applicants and the funding committee.
This is not a standalone application, but intended to extend wafer.
- Add pyconza-funding to the requirements.txt file of the conference application.
- Add
pyconza.fundingto theINSTALLED_APPSof your site, before any of thewaferapplications. - Add
pyconza.funding.urlsto theurls.pyof your site. By default, funding lives under/funding/.
When an applicant creates their application, it is in the 'Submitted' state. The funding committee is responsible for changing the state to 'Under Consideration', to indicate that they've acknowledged the application. If there are any questions that need to be addressed, the committee should communicate with the applicant and resolve them. During this period, the applicant is free to edit the application (to tweak figures, expand on motivation, etc.). They can also cancel the application at this point,
Once the funding committee is happy with the application, the status should be set to 'Final Review'. If, after review, the decision is to not award the funding, the application should be set to 'Funding not granted', otherwise an offer should be specified and the status set to 'Request Granted'.
While the status of the application will be updated, the applicant should also be informed of the decision by whatever communication channel the funding committee is using to communicate.
The applicant must then decide whether or not to accept the offer on the site, and the application status will be updated to reflect that decision.
