Q1 Git Workflow

A1 Create new feature branch from master, work on feature, when done create pull request

Q2 How do we call appropriate conference in our templates and views?

A2 We have pyconbalkan.conference.middleware.ConferenceSelectionMiddleware class and _get_year_from_domain method to distinguish which conference is current.

Q3 How to enable model filtering for each conference year?

A3 Model needs to inherit pyconbalkan.conference.models.AbstractConference

Q4 Just pulled repository from Git, when I run server and try to open it in the browser I get 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'as_meta' error.

A4 Just create admin user and then make one or more conference entities. Make sure you put year of the conference as part of the URL like this: 2018.localhost:8000

Q5 How to load templates depending on the conference year?

A5 Simply name them like this {year}_{template_name}.html
