<p>Source and docs for the upstream version are online at <a href="https://github.com/malc0/BoC">https://github.com/malc0/BoC</a> which has a link to a demonstration system that you can play with (CUCC meets 2014-15).</p>
<h2>Configure BOE for a new Expo</h2>
<p>You need to have a terminal running logged in to the server using ssh to do all this. Most expo treasurers will need to get a nerd to do this for them. Any Linux nerd, even if unfamiliar with boe, should be able to do all this if they have ssh access.
<p>In /home/expo/boe create a new folder for the data , e.g. for 2029:
<ul>
<li>/home/expo/boe/data/boe29

</pre>
Now the code is in the place that the webserver expects it, and the code is configured to point to the new data for 2029.
<p>
Now copy everything in the most recent year from, e.g. /home/expo/boe/boc-2028/ into /home/expo/boe/boc-2029/ .
Then go into the folder /home/expo/boe/data/boe29/ and delete the files for all the users except for you and wookey.

</pre>From this point on all the configuration you do with be directly with the online BoE running on the server. Set up a password for yourself is the first thing to do.
</pre>
<p>Now if you didn't create a password for last year's expo, create a password like this (Wookey will tell you what the 'salt' is):
<pre>
perl -e "use Crypt::PasswdMD5;print unix_md5_crypt('password','salt');"
</pre>
and put it in data/boe29/users/yourname and
git commit any changes.

From this point on all the configuration you do with be directly with the online BoE running on the server. Log in and check it all works.
<p>Now read the <a href="boc.pdf">the documentation</a> (PDF) (for the version running on the expo server).</p>
