Optimal Congress

Command Line Interface to find an optimal, personal schedule for the 37c3 congress.

Project status

⚠️ Development for this project is currently on hold. It can quickly be adapted for future CCC events. ⚠️

Optimization logic

The optimization relies on a simple 2-fold logic:

  1. Find a personal schedule that maximizes the sum of 'rating scores' assigned to scheduled events.
  2. The schedule must be feasible, i.e. the times of scheduled events must not overlap.

Installation

pip install optimal-congress

Available commands

optimal-congress provides the following commands:

$ optimal-congress -h

 Usage: optimal-congress [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

 Optimize your personal schedule for the 37c3.

Example Workflow

  1. Fetch events and rooms from congress API:
$ optimal-congress fetch

Fetching events and rooms from API...
Fetched 49 events and 58 rooms from API.

Comparing API with cache...
Found 0 new events, and 0 removed events.

Updating cache...
Done.
  1. Interactively rate events, if not already rated:
$ optimal-congress rate

Unrated event (1/65):

2023-12-28 20:15 - 20:55

...

Testing

Software testing uses pytest, relying upon poetry and tox.
To run all tests, across multiple python versions:

poetry run tox

Roadmap

  • output more/all information with associated events (see feature request and example for more compact hyperlinks with rich)
  • change rating scheme, to minimize effort and maximize flexibility (see feature request),
    e.g. by first marking favorites, and only requiring relative ratings for conflicting favorites
  • test export of schedule to iOS app via QR code (same format as halfnarp)
