No suitable format found for JRES 2017

[mmuman]

JRES 2017 use JS to display the program from a JSON file but we don't handle this format. There seems to be some XML as well but not the kind we support.
They seem to be using their own tool to manage the CfP and schedule.

Hrmm, I wonder how generic this is. I've once before added a parser for an obscure XML format used by a single conference and it wasn't great. :-/

Possibly they can produce a pentabarf file from it with an XSLT or something.
I poked them on twitter but they didn't answer yet. I'll just send them a mail, possibly I can access the source code and add a pentabarf export.

@mmuman Maybe we can try creating an event here https://nextgen.eventyay.com/ . Giggity supports FOSSASIA's open event JSON format... if it is too much then I can create an event for you. You can export the link then to see it in Giggity.

I forwarded my mail to the support team, but they answered like "which JSON & XML are you referring to, they are private". Like, putting an URL in the middle of a JS loaded by a public HTML file makes it private automagically.

@mmuman You can create the event on the server to export it to see in Giggity. The JSON and XML of conferences not created by you are private.

Here is a blog you can follow https://blog.fossasia.org/viewing-an-event-in-giggity/ .

They replied with an ICS export, so #34 ;-)
