Calendar?

[jaydp17]

How about converting this to a Calendar, that people can subscribe to?

BTW, great work 👍

Thanks for the idea. I will investigate what's the best way to do that.

How about launching a contest (or remote hack weekend) to build something on your specified JSON db?

I was about to open an issue like this :) so I am totally 👍 about this!

Anyway, a (relatively) quick win would be to have an automated build process that converts the array of json object to an iCal file which would look like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:uid1@example.com
DTSTAMP:19970714T170000Z
ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:john.doe@example.com
DTSTART:19970714T170000Z
DTEND:19970715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Then the build process could host this file on GitHub pages, so that people can have an url to subscribe to.

If any of you feel like doing something, feel free to do it, the data is there!
That being said, it is probably something that should / will be tackled separately. Let us know if you pull out something.

Also, if you happen to do something that is generic enough, you can use the data in confs.tech. 👍

Hi there, i built a backend, that processes the confs.tech and js-conferences data and can respond in ical format. You can select specific topics and also filter by country, date, etc...

The repo is here: https://github.com/Fischerfredl/muperconfs
I also made a website for it. https://confs.muperfredi.de/

Hey @Fischerfredl, nice work!
We've moved all the data to this new repo: https://github.com/tech-conferences/conference-data

Make sure to update the references on your website, the old one will disappear soon! ;)

[Fischerfredl]

done
thanks for keeping me updated 👍
