Dear all,
the FSFE summit is getting closer and the program gets finalized. However, as the FSFE summit is part of the bigger QtCon, we have our schedule and tracks listed in the whole QtCon environment here:
https://conf.qtcon.org/en/qtcon/public/schedule/2016-09-02
I think it would be nice to have a schedule on our own that only shows the FSFE summit talks and sessions. This way, people have a better oversight of the summit.
Hence, I wonder
is someone on this list who likes to realize a scalable version of our FSFE summit schedule?
It could be implemented as a child of our Fellowship calender, as definition list in HTML or other solutions ... Important is only, that it is scalable and easily readable on mobile phones, so people can check it during the summit.
A special feature would be if it could be extracted and read by 3rd-party applications like Giggity [1] or similar Free Software apps.
If there is anyone on this list who is interested, please drop me a mail or contact me on Jabber. Good Karma and a FSFE shirt shall be yours : )
Best regards, Erik

I would suggest a simple strategy for this would involve:
a) getting QtCon to expose it in iCalendar format
b) using any other tool or script to read the iCalendar data and render it as HTML to be hosted on a static web server
There are some Python scripts that can do some of that already, if one of them is sufficient then it may only be necessary to create an FSFE template for it.
I commented on similar things on the debian-project mailing list some time ago, one of our GSoC students, Harsh Daftary, has been working with iCalendar data for task lists/bugs and events.

Daniel

thank you very much for the pointers. Unfortunately you do not know someone who not only knows about it but also likes to realize that as well?

I can make a script for you that would parse and display following url as responsive html.
https://conf.qtcon.org/en/qtcon/public/schedule.json
Do you prefer static html or php script?
I could write html/js that would load schedule.json from same directory that is clone of file from above url.
If you need to you could edit that json file with some text/json editor and reupload. Would that work?
