Android versions

The application is designed to work on both smartphones and on tablets. Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and newer versions are supported.

Event data

• The app is designed to consume event data published in a specific format as provided by Frab, Pretalx or Wafer. The file format produced by the predecessor software, Pentabarf, cannot be consumed out of the box.
• In general, it is possible to re-deploy the app for other events which provide the same event file format.

Build instructions

To begin development, open the project in Android Studio.

The customization guide explains in detail how to create an app for your event.

If you want to create your own signed release builds, copy the gradle.properties.example file in the app folder and rename it to gradle.properties. This file contains the signing information which is used in the build process. Be sure to edit the contents of the file to point to your own keystore files.

Translations

Text translations are managed on Crowdin. Contributions are welcome!

Sources (English) and translations are synchronized via the Crowdin CLI tool. German is excluded from being managed on Crowdin as long as the maintainer is a native German speaker. New languages must be configured in the Crowdin configuration file crowdin.yaml before translations can be downloaded. The file also contains usage examples.

History

• The project was started in 2011 as "CampFahrplan" and was developed by Daniel Dorau. He released the app for the Chaos Communication Camp and the Chaos Communication Congress in the following years. The app served as a digital schedule for thousands of users.
• In 2013, Tobias Preuss started contributing. Soon after he started to re-deploy the app for other events like FOSSGIS, FrOSCon, MRMCD and other conferences.
• In August 2017 the project moved to a new location and was renamed to "EventFahrplan" to acknowledge its broader use.
