Using Template Toolkit, since the date format is actually TT's format:
[%
USE date;
USE YAML;
confs = YAML.undumpfile("conferences.yml");
FOR item = confs ;
# filter on unknown and future dates
NEXT IF item.begin.match( 'xx' );
NEXT IF date.format( item.begin, '%Y%m%d' ) > date.format(date.now,
'%Y%m%d');
# filter on conference type
NEXT IF item.genre != 'yapc';
%]
<!-- Insert HTML using item object properties -->
[% END %]
The code to produce the main page of http://www.yapceurope.org/ and
others has not so good-looking code to handle one-day conferences.
I can forward it if needed.
