Convention scheduling tool originally developed for Arisia. Now used by several other conventions. Zambia tracks sessions (events, panels, and anything that needs to be scheduled), participants, and rooms.
- Track sessions, rooms, and participants
- Comprehensive conflict checking
- Participants log in to enter availability, provide biography, etc.
- Reports for various departments such as technical services and hotel liaison
- Includes interface to KonOpas (https://github.com/eemeli/konopas), a free tool for publishing the schedule to mobile devices
- PHP 7.1 or greater (Tested on 7.2 and 7.4)
- XSLT library
- Multibyte library
- Apache (Should be able to run on other web servers than can handle PHP and MySQL, but not tested)
- MySQL (Tested on 5.6 & 8.0)
- SMTP connection for use as mail relay (only if you want to send email from Zambia)
- Note, many hosts limit use of their mail relays in ways not compatible with Zambia
