I saw the example from the University of Mannheim's Laboratory for Dependable Distributed systems, and that does indeed seem like a good solution for the tracking dates and locataions of upcoming conferences. I don't think it'd solve the problem of searching based on paper topics. Maybe adding topics as tags to the events would work?
I'm a little out of my depth here, so here's a basic question: suppose you want to build an aggregator for CFPs (like eventseer.net, only with better filtering), I'm assuming it has to spider the web and look for vevents that are CFPs. How does it know that a given set of events are CFPs? Basically, the tool I want to use is a site that shows me a calendar and lets me see when all the conferences are and when their deadlines are, over the course of the next 6-9 months. I should be able to narrow the results by topic and location, then select ones to import into iCal. As a counterpoint to that imagined tool, see the ACM's conference submission calendar. It makes impossible to get a quick idea of what's coming up: http://campus.acm.org/public/cfpcal/index.cfm -mike On 5/20/06, Ryan King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Sounds like hCalendar's vevent and vtodo would be sufficient. -ryan _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
