Blazing Swan is a regional burn in Western Australia happening March 27-April 2 and is using dust.
Compared to other regionals there was a big adoption of the self-management features of dust that allow camps to manage their own events and music. As part of this several features needed to be added including:
- Multiple theme camp owners
- Sending notifications on camp registration
- Additional moderation features before publishing
- An overview video for camps on how to manage their camp
- A walkthrough video for regional organizers on how to manage the event
- Addition of Art management
- A rework of the home page of the dust app to make sure the regional closest to you shows first
As well as making a lot of happy blazers, it was also a great learning experience in developing the dust platform.
The one and only time I got to go Blazing Swan was in 2015 and some day I'd like to make it back there...straight to the pool room ;)
