Presentation and assembly system
Project description
This is OpenSlides, version 1.3-rc1 (2012-11-27).
What is OpenSlides?
OpenSlides is a free, web-based presentation system for displaying and controlling of agenda, applications and elections of an assembly.
See http://openslides.org for more information.
Getting started
Install and start OpenSlides as described in the INSTALL.txt.
If you need help please contact the OpenSlides team on public mailing list or read the OpenSlides manual. See http://openslides.org.
The start script of OpenSlides
- Simply running
openslides.exe (on Windows) or python start.py (on Linux/MacOS)
will start OpenSlides using djangos development server. It will also try to open OpenSlides in your default webbrowser.
The server will listen on the IP address of your current hostname on port 80 (if port 80 is not available port 8000 will be used). This means that the server will be available to everyone on your local network (at least for commonly used network configurations).
See Command line options below if you need to change this.
The login for the default admin user after (created on first start), is as follows:
Username: admin Password: admin
Command line options
The following command line options are available:
- -h, --help
Shows all options
- -a, --address=ADDRESS

- -p PORT, --port=PORT

- --reset-admin
