NodeTalks

NodeTalks (Or more commonly known as just Talks) is a node webapp to manage talks at COSI meetings.

It allows people to submit talks that they are planning on giving at upcoming meetngs. As well, it includes an export functionality to aggregate active talks to be put into a markdown format which is used for our meeting minutes.

Install

To setup an instance of talks, download this repo and download the dependencies with npm:

git clone https://github.com/COSI-Lab/NodeTalks.git
npm install

Then, start up the app with the following command:

node index.js

You can enable it to run continuously easily with programs like Forever or Nodemon.

Known Dev quirks

In talks-ctrl.js, there is a code block in two functions that limit write actions to within users in a specified IP range.

if (!allowedIP(req.clientIp)) {
  res.sendStatus(500);
  return;
}

It doesn't include localhost currently so I (@lannonbr) have commented those lines out when debugging it, but if anyone is interested in setting up something to skip those lines in a development mode, feel free to contribute.
