A list of geeky events we can celebrate. For example birthdays of important
scientists, releases of science fiction movies, events in fantasy stories, etc.
The GitHub pages contain a .ics calendar file 📆.
The data is structured into several directories.
For each important person (researcher, actor, comic book artist, etc.),
a directory is made in the birthday/
directory. The directory name has the form yyyymmdd-slug_of_person_name. With
yyyymmdd the birthday according to the Gregorian calendar of that person.
The directory contains two files name that contains the full name of the
person, and bio.md that contains a Markdown formatted file that contains a
short biography of that person.
For each universe, a directory is made in the universe/
directory. The directory name is the slug of the universe. In the directory, there
are three files: name will contain the name of that universe, emoji, an optional
file contains an emoji linked to that universe, and the directory can also contain
links.
For events with a fixed day, the fixedday/ directory is used.
In this directory subdirectories per universe are created, and for each of these
subdirectories, a directory is used per fixed day event. This directory has the form
yyyymmdd-slug_of_event_name. In this directory a file named name will contain the
real name of the event, a file description.md will contain a short description of the
event in Markdown and optionally a file named why.md that contains the reason
why that specific date was picked.
Each directory can contain a file named links which contains a list of links
separated by a new line.
Furthermore a directory can contain a file named notes.md that contains a set
of notes written with markdown syntax.
Some events happen when the Julian calendar was used. By adding a file
julian in the directory, a note will be added that specifies the date
according to the Julian calendar.
The package itself is safe, but it uses modules like Text.Blaze.Html that are
not safe.
