Port 2015 tools to 2016 website

[jefftriplett]

We need to port our 2015 tools into the 2016 code base. This allows Guidebook and some of our other tools to work properly.

These are the requirements:

1. Update Views: 2015 views into the 2016 views.
2. Update Urls: We need to port all of the djangocon.views.* views from the 2015 website into the 2016 website
3. Add missing requirements to our project's requirements.txt. (possibly: unidecode, tablib, unicodecsv, ...)
4. Adjust Symposion imports which might have changed. Example: Biblion is now Pinax-Blog
5. Update View Security: Update @login_required views to only allow superuser access. Example 1 and Example 2.

I can work on this. Here is my plan of action:

1. Add missing requirements
2. Adjust imports
3. Update Views
4. Update view Security
5. Update Urls

What do you guys think about having a https://2016.djangocon.us/data page(accessible to superusers only) that has a list of all downloadable CSVs? It will save us from having to remember the CSV urls.

@sul4bh great idea, that'd be perfect!

I ran into an issue regarding pinax-symposium and have submitted an issue upstream (pinax/symposion#131). I am hoping to hear from them soon.

Do we need schedule_json() and guidebook_news_feed() for 2016?

[jefftriplett]

@sul4bh Thanks for the update. The Sponsor.objects.active() call can be changed to Sponsor.objects.filter(active=True) if that gets you past a blocker. Ultimately fixing Symposion upstream though helps everyone so thank you for opening that issue.

Yes, we do need schedule_json and guidebook_news_feed for Guidebook and the Program Guide integration. Hopefully, updating the Biblion references to use Pinax-Blog is just switching imports.

Let me know if you have questions and thanks again!
