Setup

The site runs on Windows Azure Websites and uses Azure table storage to persist talk submissions and votes.

The following Web.config AppSettings are required to run:

1. AzureTableStorageConnectionString which is a standard Azure table storage connection string
2. CaptchaPass used by the Captcha system for talk submissions
3. CaptchaSalt used by the Captcha system for talk submissions
4. CaptchaChars used by the Captcha system for talk submissions
5. ValidateWithEventbrite set to true if you would like to have your votes validated with eventbrite to ensure they are for someone with a real ticket.
6. EventbriteApiAuthToken your app token from eventbrite for use with 5.
7. EventbriteEventId the id for the eventbrite event you care about.

Windows Azure Websites has a feature which allows you to replace Web.config AppSettings at deploy time and configure the values in the Windows Azure portal. We use this.
