Here are some software packages and utility scripts I wrote that might be useful
to the general public.
coonf
This package can help in organization of a conference. It can handle
on-line applications, submission of abstracts, upload of electronic
presenation, creating conference WWW pages etc.
Also, using only subset of coonf's features one can set up WWW interface
for easy insertion of any data into relational database and subsequent
WWW access to this data.
Written in Python. Current version is coonf 0.9.11 (beta) [2012-02-27].

you.
