Convert the [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/) schedule to gemtext
(`text/gemini`) format, to be served via
[Gemini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)).
## Installation
Download the program. Be sure you have the
2021-03-27 14:29:53 +01:00
[lxml](https://lxml.de/library). Edit sample-index.gmi to suit your
2021-03-27 14:23:16 +01:00
needs and rename it index.gmi. Then run the program periodically, for
instance through cron:
```
# FOSDEM
26 1,5,9,13,17,21 * * * (cd /path/to/FOSDEM; make all)
```
## Technical details
The FOSDEM schedule is publically available (from the schedule
management system Pentabarf) as a XML file (whch we can retrieve with,
for instance, `wget https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/xml`). The use of
a structured format allows us to convert it easily.
