Code for Philly Check-in System

"Make sure to check in! Seriously, guys!" — Chris Alfano, every meetup

But not everyone does! How do we keep track of how many people attended? How do we monitor how many new people show up a second time? To continue to build a great community, we need to be able to measure our progress.

It's not that people don't want to check-in; they forget to do it, or they can't remember their password, or they get busy. Let's make it easy and automatic!

Ideas

• When someone connects to the WiFi, automatically route them to the check-in page (like at a hotel)
• Remove the password requirement to check-in
• Setup a dedicated check-in computer near the door
• Don't let them leave until they check in
