We have a script that pulls all of the info we have out of The Perl Review's Google calendar. We currently have a task out there to modify this script to pull old events and put them on a history page. A volunteer is working on it. My plan was to have a history section and list events with one page for each year.

If you're really eager, I could talk to the volunteer and transfer the task to someone else. All of the code to build the yapc site is in Google code here:

http://tpf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/yapc/yapc_org/

You can see the last item in the TODO list is the history thing.

Could you please tell me where can I find them?
If they are not on that web site, would it be possible to add them?

Excellent translation.  ;)

With respect to storing this information, if one was to translate Philippe's
excellent YAML file into a nice XHTML page with links (where they exist - not
all will), how would you recommend it be ordered?  By date?  Country?
Continent?  I'm fairly sure it would be less than a day's work (certainly no
more than 2) to write a script which used that YAML file to generate appropriate
pages.  Perhaps if someone is eager they can do so, and offer it to Jim Brandt
as something that could be included on the YAPC.org page.  It might not have any
success, but at worst it's just a little fun.  ;)

All the best,

        J
