How to list hybrid conferences?

Hi team, with the rise of hybrid conferences - that both offer an online experience, and a physical location - how do we reflect that on confs.tech?

PR to follow (because I have questions about how to categorize a multitrack event that hits a lot of categories).

FOSDEM https://fosdem.org/2023/ is the event. it has 600+ talks over two days in all or nearly all of the categories described. Does it go under "general" or get cross listed?

Add Broken Link Checker - Github Action

I believe that it will be a great idea to setup a GitHub action that runs periodically and checks for broken links.
It will check all repository links once per day and create an issue in case of errors.

Github action to check for broken links in Markdown, HTML, and text files using Lychee, a fast link checker written in Rust.

Here is a full example of a GitHub workflow file:

It will check all repository links once per day and create an issue in case of errors.

name: Links

on:
  repository_dispatch:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: "00 18 * * *"

jobs:
  linkChecker:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Link Checker
        id: lychee
        uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v1

      - name: Create Issue From File
        if: env.lychee_exit_code != 0
        uses: peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v4
        with:
          title: Link Checker Report
          content-filepath: ./lychee/out.md
          labels: report, automated issue

I'd like to share my experience with Lychee. I came across it yesterday and integrated it into my project. While it was helpful in identifying some broken links, it also generated some false positives (links that appear broken but function correctly). I'm still exploring the tool's functionality to potentially fine-tune its accuracy.

On a separate note, I encountered a permissions issue when trying to open new issues.

Project implementations:

• documentation.breadnet.co.uk ---> GitHub action
• freeForGeeks ---> GitHub action

here is an example from my own project:

I hope this helps

Add link to COVID-19 Policy

Hi,

On Travis CI the builds for PR are shown as passed, but here on GitHub they all are still pending.
Any ideas why it might be happening? I tried looking into it but had no luck finding the clues.

Add Call for Tracks, Call for Hosts

Tell me when yall think this is overengineering, but plenty of conferences have a Call for Tracks, and a Call for Hosts too. Can we add that the same way as the CfP works?

Support email as a kind of CFP address

Currently CFP URL field assumes that the value is a web page address. But there are conferences where talk proposals can be sent in a free form by email. For example, community-driven SnowOne conference. In corresponding PR (#1747) its CFP URL is incorrect (irrelevant fields are omitted):

{
  "cfpUrl": "http://[email protected]",
}

Perhaps the field should support URI instead of URL.

Changes in dates and removals are not fully synced

Hi,

I've noticed that some of the events that we've recently removed or updated are still visible on the website (trying in the incognito mode, so it's not browser caches).
Examples:
Spring I/O - see twice on the list in May and in October #2261
IcingaConf and OSCamp on Bareos - were removed, still see on the list #2263

Probably some the same issues with other recently updated events - haven't checked them all.

Identifying conferences

Hi,

we're working on a small tool for our company to (among other things) help people find conferences they might enjoy. Up until very recently we were using dev.events as data source, but it looks like the developer behind it has disappeared and removed all repositories. As a result, we'd love to pivot to using tech-conferences instead.

I've looked through this repository and it appears that the individual entries don't have an ID. Given how the data is updated via PRs, it is understandable why and I don't see an obvious way of adding one.

Do you have any recommendation or suggestion as to how approach this?

Request: empty array file for topic without conferences

Context: on Internal hackaton in FlixMobility I've created a tool that retrieves information about conferences and pushes it to slack. You can find it here: https://github.com/flix-tech/confs.tech.push

Right now I'm making http call to current year's json file for specific token to get list of conferences. Sometimes I get http code 404 in response and it may happen because of:

1. I made a typo in topic name so I should fix scheduled script.
2. Repo file structure changed so I should fix the tool.
3. There's no conferences scheduled (like 2019/scala) and it's ok.

In every case response is same so there's no way to determine whether something's broken or not. This won't be a problem if there's a file with empty array for every year/topic pair.

Also this may possibly fix tech-conferences/confs.tech#429

Please add CFML as a topic

ColdFusion Markup Language, more commonly known as CFML, is a scripting language for web development.
CFML runs on a server-side web application server like Lucee or Adobe ColdFusion.

Similar to what PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, and others would do, it allows you to render dynamic web sites with a variety aggregation and helper features to output to a client.

Southern California Linux Expo is blocklisted

SCaLE (the Southern California Linux Expo https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/20x ) appears to be blocked when I try to add the call for papers link. This is a conference focused on linux and open source software with many technical tracks including developer focused, devops, systems & infrastructure, kernel development and more. I don't see why this wouldn't be considered a relevant event for software development. Can you unblock us?
