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

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.
If you find more uses to this data, please go ahead!

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

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.

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.

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.

Be careful when you take one side or the other. You could wind up in the

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.

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. :)

Here's the code we're currently using for yapc.org. I haven't looked too closely at it, so if something doesn't seem right, let me know.
