This is a very simple and fragile scraper that creates an iCalendar file to watch CFP of some conferences.
To subscribe to this calendar you could follow the "Use a link to add a public calendar" option from this Google support article.
Basically, it boils down to the following steps:
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- On the left, next to
Other calendars
clickAdd +
other calendars and thenFrom URL
. - Enter this calendar's address.
- Click
Add calendar
. The calendar appears on the left, underOther calendars
. - (Optional) You may customize the name of the new calendar as well as other params.
Important Notes:
- The first time the calendar is loaded, the events appear almost instantaneously in your personal calendar.
- After that first loading, Google Calendar might take up to 12 hours to show new changes (or events) in your calendar again.
If you feel conformable with RFC-5546 and want to write your own events, you may use the extra
folder to drop custom *.ics
files manually. These files will be merged to the generated iCalendar nightly.
