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,
