# About

This is a Django-based trip management system for the [MIT Outing Club][mitoc].

biking, skiing, mountaineering, rafting, canoeing, and surfing. Trips are open

to everyone in the club - a community of thousands.

# Deployment

It takes a single command and a few minutes to deploy this software.

Clone the [mitoc-ansible][mitoc-ansible] repository and follow the instructions

# [History][about]

This site was created in 2014 to improve MITOC's Winter School program. It has

since evolved into the central portal for all MITOC trips.

Once upon a time, Winter School trips operated on a first-come, first-serve

basis. Signups opened at noon, and filled up extremely quickly. Many

participants found themselves unable to attend any trips in a given weekend,

and others struggled to gain exposure to new activities.

We introduced a lottery system to combat the "fastest gun in the West" problem.

Instead of rewarding trip slots to whomever could sign up the fastest, we used

an equitable algorithm to distribute trip slots. As a result of this new

algorithm, we saw unprecedented levels of participation. Everyone who expressed

interest in attending weekend trips was placed on a trip, and popular

activities like ice climbing were more accessible.

Today, all MITOC trips are organized through this portal. Many trips are

first-come, first-serve, but we use lottery-based signups for other popular

trip formats once subject to same problems as Winter School.
