I have been going over ther speakers list for the forthcoming YAPC::Europe at (http://www.yapc.org/Europe/2002/speakers.html), currently the list only holds names of speakers and the titles of their presentations, so in sheer frustration of the lag of information on the presentations I made a small script to parse the page and compare it with the list from OSCON 2002 (http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/15/presentations.html), I what did I find out, that actually only one of the presentations is repeated at YAPC::E, well I guess that is pretty much ok, but I still miss the information on the presentations from the organizers of YAPC::E.
Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my $debug = 0;
my %speakers;
my $osconfile = "oscon_presentators.html";
my $osconregex = '^.*e_spkr\/\d+">(.*)<\/a>$';
my $yapcefile = "yapc-e_speakers.html";
my $yapceregex = '^(.*)<\/td>';
my $speakers_ref = &process($osconfile, $osconregex, \%speakers);
$speakers_ref = &process($yapcefile, $yapceregex, $speakers_ref);
foreach my $speaker (keys %{$speakers_ref}) {
if ($speakers_ref->{$speaker} > 1) {
print "$speaker : ".$speakers_ref->{$speaker},"\n";
}
}
exit;
sub process {
my ($file, $regex, $speakers_ref) = @_;
open(FIN, "<$file") or die "Unable to open file: $file - $!\n";
while(
return $speakers_ref;
}
I guess I better send a mail to the organizers, it would also be nice with some information on the tutorials...
