[eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Update on the EclipseCon Na 2014

Hi all,

here are some answers to your questions:

Where should I post a bug against the EclipseCon website?
I suggest we start using bugzilla to track any problems with the EclipseCon website. Please post issues under the Community product and the EclipseCon component:

Could you add a mulit-select for the track filter?
Yes and it's now available.

How is it possible that a speaker replied to a PC comment?
This week a few speakers did receive a daily email digest when a pc comment was added to their talk. This is obviously not how I designed the system to work. I did write code to ignore the pc comment with the email subscription module https://drupal.org/project/subscriptions.

This was tested on staging and locally but with my luck this bug only occurred on production. There was a duplicate copy of one of my modules on production, one with a space at the end of the module folder name and the other one without a space. Needless to say, drupal was loading the wrong module.

The daily subscriptions are saved in the subscriptions_queue table. I did another sanity test today to make sure that things are working properly. I submitted a PC comment and I made sure that the comment was not added to the subscriptions_queue table. After this test, I submitted a public comment on a talk and that comment was added to the subscription queue.

Attached is a screenshot of a session with a pc comment. The left side, is from a user with access to the PC COMMENTS, the right side is the same page but from the perspective of the speaker.

I am currently subscribed to receive all possible digests from the EclipseCon website. I will monitor them closely for the next few days and make sure that the PC Comments are only visible from a user with the pc committee user role.

Sorry for this long e-mail but I felt you guys deserved an explanation.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or comments regarding the website.

Cheers!
