See all past and future RHOKs on a world map. A demo is deployed at http://rhokmap.meteor.com/ and the code is available at http://www.github.com/freenerd/rhokmap
The RHOK website's RSS feed of events is pulled, locations are extracted from the XML, passed to the client for geocoding against the Google Geocoding API, pushed back to the server, stored in a database and served on a Google Map.
Because it is fun to see where on the world RHOKs are happening. Also I really wanted to play around with Meteor ;)
This was built during RHOK Berlin June 2012. Version 0.3.6 of Meteor was used, so expect this to break in the future.
