How to show author's full name in Drupal

I found a good question at Codenone regarding author's full name in Drupal. This is a good question because it clearly shows the power of Drupal. If you notice, all contents in Drupal will show their authors somewhere in the page. An author is identified by his/her username. And there is no full name stored in the database by default. Other CMSs usually store user's full name in its database so you might think Drupal is worse. In fact, you are allowed to add additional metadata using profile module which is included in the core modules. So showing author's full name in each node is very easy.

Building academic conference site using Drupal

I have just assigned to find a solution for building an academic conference site as quick as possible. I used to be authors and also reviewer assistant but I have never been an organizer. This is my first time in this area. Anyway, it seems there are many softwares available right now. Below are just a list I found in Google.

  1. BYU Paper Review System - This one is very old and maybe obsolete for so long. The most interesting thing I found is that it was written in C as external PHP module.
  2. MyReview - It has just released the latest feature-rich version last month.

I don't have much time to find more but it seems MyReview is one of the most popular player. Anyway, my favorite CMS is Drupal and most of our sites are Drupalized. It would be nice if we can build an academic conference site using Drupal. And I found Conference module for Drupal.

However, it seems I forgot to release such a stable release. I apologize for this missing piece.
