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. :)

Wouldn't it be nice if the information was automatically available in your calendar? 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 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. It shows up in my calendar applications just fine. :) 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.
