If a commit bit is needed, I'll take it. You now have a commit bit. Also, I've been adding historical information to the calendar to. I haven't gone through you're complete history yet, but I've been slowly adding things. If conference organizers want access too, they just need to let me know. :)
Re: An iCalendar for all Perl events
I'd be interested to learn how to do that (and how YAPC.org does get the information). I suppose there is some sort of XML export format? I can't find a way to get to it from the "embed" URL. The code that creates yapc.org is hosted in google code. The script you're probably interested in is this one: http://tpf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/yapc/yapc_org/bin/extract_cal_events.pl You can poke around the project to find the other code. Let me know if you have any questions. Jim -- Jim Brandt The Perl Foundation email: cbra...@perlfoundation.org

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.

Well, that's what I've been doing with The Perl Review Community Calendar for a couple of years: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ngctmrd1cac35061mrjt3hpgng%40gr oup.calendar.google.com 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. It shows up in my calendar applications just fine. :) If anyone wants commit bits, they just have to let Jim Brandt or I know

The .ics file is generated using TT and the YAML file hosted by the YAPC Europe Foundation. My goal is to only ever worry about the YAML file.

Wouldn't it be nice to "connect" it with the Perl Community Calendar? http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ngctmrd1cac35061mrjt3hpgng%40group.calendar.google.com If you want I can give it a try...

An iCalendar for all Perl events
Wondering when the next Perl event is? Wouldn't it be nice if the information was automatically available in your calendar? Cry no more, for I have setup an iCalendar file holding all the Perl events (conferences, workshops, hackathons) for which I have enough date information. Simply subscribe to all Perl events worldwide using your favorite calendar tool. http://www.yapceurope.org/ical/conferences.ics This calendar is hosted by the YAPC Europe Foundation. If some data is missing or incomplete, please let me know, preferably by sending me a patch against the source YAML file (this is the best way to ensure fast updates). http://www.yapceurope.org/conferences.yml [Also posted to use.perl.org] -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) The surest path to chaos is too much organization.
