How this repository works

Everytime a commit is pushed to this repository, a Travis-CI is triggered. The job validates the Newline JSON schedule and tests the parser script. On a successful Travis build a webhook https://hackerspace.gent/newline/pull.php is called, triggering a git pull in the 0x20.be/newline repository, and a parser script generates a pentabarf XML from the JSON conference schedule.

• .htaccess: This file redirects /newline to /newline/2018. This needs to be changed every year.
• 2015/, 2016/, /20..: Each year has its own directory. Add a new directory each year
• pull.php: This file calls git pull when accessed. This is needed for automatic sync with github, so do not change it!
• .travis.yml: configuration for the Travis CI build job
• schedule_parser.py : python script that generates a Pentabarf XML file from the Newline schedule JSON file.
• test : folder with data to test the schedule_parser.py script.

Schedule parser

A parser script reads the newline schedule json data file (<year>/json/data.json) and generates a Pentabarf XML (<year>/xml/pentabarf.xml).

Requirements

The python parser script relies on these packages :

• lxml
• jsonschedule
• python-pentabarf-xml

Install depedencies by running

pip install -r requirements.txt
