OpenConf import #31

Open derpeter opened 6 years ago

derpeter commented 6 years ago

Build an importer for OpenConf Schedules https://www.openconf.com/

OpenConf has an XML export which we probably can use, sample is requested

derpeter commented 6 years ago

Attached an example XML (named .txt because of github) openconf-LAC2018-submissions-all-201801111013.txt

This one does not have information about timeslots. Maybe there are other export methods in openconf?

dvzrv commented 6 years ago

Openconf is sadly not build for that kind of thing (management of timeslots, afaik). It's more used for content handling and as a reviewing system. However, we can export the content and would like to do some scheduling next week. Maybe we can hack a csv, that incorporates timeslots then. It can otherwise also export to xml and tab delimited files.

dvzrv commented 6 years ago

We'll now go a different route, exporting events from .ics files. OpenConf is pretty much useless in this context it seems (in the free version it doesn't have any notion of time or scheduling or whatever).

I'll have a look at how to best export to the fahrplan.xml witht the given system

derpeter commented 6 years ago

you may want to have a look at https://github.com/pretalx/pretalx which is easier to use than frab but still non that braindead as openconf. Maybe its still enough time to migrate

dvzrv commented 6 years ago

hmm, well, we already have a bunch of filled up calendar files that are being parsed for the website, so I guess easiest would be to adapt the script to spit out a valid fahrplan. Don't want to redo all the c/p work. Would you have time to meet next week? I have some questions regarding the IDs, etc.

derpeter commented 6 years ago

not sure how much time will be next week as we have a datengarten an GPN. Lets try to answer your question via XMPP first
