Calendar file for ApacheCON 2004
Unfortunately I lost a hard disk recently. Not many casualties, but the
scripts to create the iCal files for the ApacheCON last year were there :-(
I have rewritten the stuff in python, it was nice, cleaner than I
expected and fast.
I have tested it with evolution and mozilla calendar, with mixed
results. I have not yet tested the file with iCal or korganizer,
outlook, etc.
Tests or any feedback is welcome.
Disclaimer: it can crash your calendaring app, etc. :-)
Regards
Santiago

Hi,
just to let you know that this file does not import into Evolution 1.4.5
(Fedora Core 1 Edition). It says "Importing Item 1" and then stops.
Nothing shows up in the calendar. :-(
In the Evolution Preview, it also says "iCalendar Error. The attachment
does not contain a valid calendar message".
Ah, the joy of standards. :-)
Regards
Henning

Third edition :-)
The problem you see could be due to the way I made up GUIDs:
ACYYYY-Ses@apachecon.com. For the tutorials a ":" got into it and it
could confuse iCal, which I know from last year is picky about GUID.
Things to test: are categories showing? just one with all the commas
(this is what I interpret should happen, and what mozilla does, but
evolution works the other way around).
I wanted to put a version out there fast, and we can tweak it as
problems appear. I'll commit both the script and a generated version
somewhere (committers?) tomorrow.
The difference now is just the ":" in UID

Imports fine into my iCal. However, T11 and T12 seems to have the same
description.

This is about a iCal/vCalendar file for ApacheCON 2004, a work in
progress I'm doing since last year. Scratching my own itch: to have
the ApacheCON schedule in my cellular ;-)

Can you put this at a URL that won't be changing? That was my iCal can
auto pull corrections, etc. Thanks!

Already correcting two problems:
- Double escaping of "," in description
- Wrong "pseudo email" for sessions with several speakers
pseudo email is of the form speakerNNN@apachecon.com, with NNN being the
number of the speaker pop up. It does not work, but it *could* if so
desired be redirected to fori or real email.
It should be run again every time the site gets updated (for instance as
session chairs get appointed). A URL of the session will eventually be
added as a field. Keynotes are still missing in the site....
