# fosdem2gemini

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
[lxml](https://lxml.de/library). Edit sample-index.gmi to suit your
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.
