Pretalx

[alpha-beta-soup]

Adds:

• Speakers page
  • Logo images for two keynote speakers added too
• A way to parse our data from Pretalx
  • The API key is kept in the serviceAccount in Google Drive
  • The default-firebase-data.json is now a template that holds static data, such as the lunch and evening "sessions", and keynote speaker information that is maintained outside of Pretalx. This can be edited. At deployment time, pretalx/pretalx-parser.js is run. This is responsible for writing firebase-data.json, which contains the data from default-firebase-data.json, extended with the information in Pretalx. In this way, we can easily edit the static data while allowing presenters to update their information at their leisure.
• Markdown preview of session content, rather than plain text

This may need some extra work once the full speakers are on board for the main conference:

• It does not handle pagination of the Pretalx response
• Speakers who are both workshop presenters and main conference speakers may be doubled-up (they seem to be distinct in Pretalx).

And we should include a button somewhere to buy a workshop ticket
