A Raffle machine that integrates into Meetup.com for raffling amongst people in the room.

AmsterdamPHP - Meetup.com Raffler

This application enables us to raffle off stuff to our meetup attendees. It uses the Meetup.com API to get all check ins, and then uses the Random.org API to randomly select winners.

Installation

Install into a virtual machine. (Linux and OSX users only)

Ensure that VirtualBox, Vagrant, and Ansible are installed.

You can optionally install the plugin vagrant-hostmanager, so you don't need to do any manual configuration on your machine:

```
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
```

1. git clone git@github.com:AmsterdamPHP/meetup-raffle-machine.git --recursive

2. run vagrant up

3. create config/parameters.yml (get your API key from meetup.com)

   meetup_group:   amsterdamphp
   meetup_api_key: YOUR_MEETUP_API_KEY
   

4. (from within the machine) composer install to install composer dependencies

5. (from within the machine) compass compile to compile styles

6. add the following to your /etc/hosts file (only if you didn't installed vagrant-hostmanager)

   10.10.10.10 app.local
   

All done! Now you can access the application at http://app.local/.

Install directly onto your host machine.

1. Get code

2. Give permissions

   sudo chmod -Rf +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" cache logs
   sudo chmod -Rf +a "<apache user> allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" cache logs
   

3. Install Dependencies

   gem update --system
   gem install compass
   gem install susy
   

4. Compile stylesheets

   compass compile

   meetup_group:   amsterdamphp
   meetup_api_key: YOUR_MEETUP_API_KEY
   

How to use it
