A quick and dirty set of python scripts to extract OpenSauce2024 schedule into JSON

To help with planning schedule / meetups during OpenSauce 2024 I wanted to get all the event details into google calendar. While I am super grateful that the conference publishes a calendar... they don't publish the details in a standard format :(.

Here are three scripts to get the open sauce schedule data into a standard format.

  • extract.py which fetches and then extracts the data that hydrates this page: https://opensauce.com/agenda/. It basically is a super crude string -> json tool.
  • gen_icals.py consumes the schedule.json from extract and generates ical files
  • merge_ical.py which takes a directry full of ical files and renders them into a single file. Use this for bulk upload to google calendar.

Since they're small files and not likely to change much between now / then, I added the "artifact" files as well:

  • schedule.json to save you the effort of having to run extract.py.
  • {satur,sun}day.ical: all the saturday/sunday events in one file for easy upload to google calendar.

The only non std-lib dependency is icalendar. Hacked together quickly with chatGPT. I had to do some cleanup and tweaking. Built on a nix box with python 3.12.3.
