OK, since it wasn't me personally, who was dealing with OSEM, I've asked
the person responsible and here is his quick answer (translated to English):
It was to limiting, we had to follow OSEM's workflow too much (e.g. you
cannot manually enter a talk when the speaker didn't registered by their
own, etc.).
The software itself is kinda funny. It doesn't crash without reason, but
it shows a lot of 500 pages and when we did an update, it was no longer
possible to edit users, etc.
We should see if these are still the case via the test matrix Mo set
up, for sure. Open source moves quickly, and the git commit graph
shows quite some work in the meantime:
