I learned last year that if you sign up with Facebook, Sched asks for
all
sorts of personal information, but if you create an account directly,
it
does not.
I agree that using a FLOSS alternative would be better, but we want
that, I
think we need to focus on doing it rather than suggesting it. Because
suggesting is easy and putting together a conference is not.
OpenConferenceWare from OS Bridge might be another one to look at --

source
Android app, although that appears quite out of date.

I let go the web site of FUDCon LATAM and people that took the task end
up choosing COD with the comment that "was as good as the app chosen for
flock" ... Mayorga is working with Drupal, so I guess he is comfortable
building a site with Drupal modules better that implementing something
brand new to him.

So there is that another option as well. I think that the key for
success in conference software is the people making sure the system is
working and the data is accurate.
