MiniConf is a framework for hosting virtual academic conferences motivated by the sudden inability for these events to be hosted globally. The framework is designed to be global and asynchronous, interactive, and to promote browsing and discovery. We developed the system to be sustainable and maintainable, in particular ensuring that it is open-source, easy to setup, and scalable on minimal hardware. In this technical report, we discuss design decisions, provide technical detail, and show examples of a case study deployment.

MiniConf——一个虚拟会议框架

MiniConf 是一个用于举办虚拟学术会议的框架，因为这些活动突然无法在全球举办。该框架被设计为全局的、异步的、交互的，并促进浏览和发现。我们开发的系统具有可持续性和可维护性，特别是确保它是开源的、易于设置且可在最少的硬件上扩展。在本技术报告中，我们讨论设计决策、提供技术细节并展示案例研究部署示例。
