Plugin ideas

This page documents ideas people had for good pretalx plugins – feel free to take ideas up for plugin development or add new ideas of your own!

Organiser workflow

• Allow reviewers to express their confidence in their score
• Integrate with pretix
• GPG support
• Blog plugin for an event blog
• Query builder to send emails to a very specific circle of people
• Print speaker badges
• Manage speaker budgets

Social media

• Twitter integration
• Fediverse integration

Draft of settings:

• Enable twitter integration: true/false, global setting enabling/disabling the other settings
• Show "share on twitter" buttons: true/false
• Twitter nick and hashtag: This is required for better sharing integration
• Send tweets when talks start: true/false
• Talk-tweeter template: string with placeholders and a defined order in which the placeholders are dropped. Since this is kinda hard, we might have to stick with just a language selection for now.
• Send tweets when a new schedule version is released: true/false
• Twitter credentials for scheduled tweets: an account and access codes will need to be stored if scheduled tweets are used
• Ask speakers for twitter username: true/false
• Offer submitters to tweet "I have just submitted a talk to": true/false
• Tweet other special events (CfP countdown on days 7, 1, 0.5, 0; CfP open, Event end). It might be best to provide editable templates for this, aswell.
• Tweet schedule changes

Recording plugins

• PeerTube plugin

Other ideas

• A relive timeline
• Plugins for integration with trouble ticketing systems, ideally it should be possible to assign each event and/or speaker their own ticket-id's so it is easier to route communication and keep track of outstanding issues.
• Open Streetmap support: for open-air events where there will be performances outdoors that are not necessarily tied to a specific room/stage it would be helpful to be able to point to the physical location of that performance.
• inventory plugin. An event usually has lots of physical gear to manage. Think https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox/ reduced to its essentials, with granular authorisation for event teams and speakers.
