OK, so there is some duplication of effort. I'm not surprised. :-) My data comes from my desire to get exhausitive conference data (including some Act-related info), so I'm sure there is some data you have and I don't, and vice-versa. Of course, I understand that from a community point of view, it's better to advertise a single authoritative calendar. The one I made scratched my own itch, and I thought I might as well share it. > It's the same feed that TPF uses on YAPC.org. You can get the data in > all sorts of ways, and it has ICS feeds.

I can't find a way to get to it from the "embed" URL. > If anyone wants commit bits, they just have to let Jim Brandt or I know I'd also be interested to know how to share information between our two databases, yes. If a commit bit is needed, I'll take it. Thanks. -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) Be careful when you take one side or the other. You could wind up in the middle. (Moral from Groo The Wanderer #33 (Epic))
