Hi Jesper,
this looks great. Thank you for creating the feed.
I'll have a look at creating something along the lines of what I
outlined in the combing weeks and then let you know of the progress I've
made.
I plan to create a spreadsheet and form with enough information to also
cover the details from the
https://github.com/python-organizers/conferences CSV files and your YAML
files.
I just have to figure out how we can manage changes and updates to
existing entries in an easy way.
Cheers,
