Wuhu!

What is Wuhu?

Wuhu is a compact, lightweight Party Management System (PMS), ideally designed for aiding demoparty organizers in tasks such as collecting entries, managing voting and conveying information through the bigscreen.

Wuhu was created specifically for the Function party series, mainly because we felt that the only available alternative (at the time), PartyMeister, was simply too large for a party like us.

The system has been since tested at various parties. Our aim with it is to create alternatives (competition, if you wish) between PMS-s, to offer a choice for organizers of smaller parties to be able to pick what suits their needs best. We would also hereby like to encourage other parties (Assembly, SceneCON, Stream, Outline) to also release their respective systems to the public as well.

What does Wuhu offer?

Requirements

Optimally, Wuhu requires two computers: A server, and a beamer.

The former is usually a Unix-based LAMP server, requiring Apache 2, PHP 5 with GD2, MySQL 5.x and optionally a nameserver. (WAMP might very well work, we never tried.)

The latter can be any sort of Windows-based computer with really basic hardware acceleration, with the latest DirectX runtimes installed.

If you have no expendable computers, it has been proven that the server may very well run in an emulated environment such as VirtualBox, even on the same machine as the beamer, at the expense of additional load on that machine. (This has been tested to work even with a cheapo netbook, although of course it wasn't fast.)
