From 9eac07d231a626438dfa2f8a8e42f962fa8a58fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 14:42:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: add filtered newsletter.xml feed for Buttondown Adds /newsletter.xml that filters conferences to those whose CFP closes in the next 14 days, with pubDate set to build time so Buttondown's RSS-to-email picks items up (the existing /feed.xml uses future-dated CFP deadlines as pubDate, which Buttondown skips). https://claude.ai/code/session_01BKQ3qcHaToNZyecwyYGoBW --- newsletter.xml | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+) create mode 100644 newsletter.xml diff --git a/newsletter.xml b/newsletter.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a729e10ea5a --- /dev/null +++ b/newsletter.xml @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +--- +permalink: /newsletter.xml +--- + + + + {{ site.title | xml_escape }} Newsletter + Python conference CFP deadlines coming up in the next 14 days + {{ site.url }} + + en-US + {{ site.time | date_to_rfc822 }} + Jekyll v{{ jekyll.version }} +{%- assign today = site.time | date: "%s" | plus: 0 -%} +{%- assign horizon = site.time | date: "%s" | plus: 1209600 -%} +{%- for conf in site.data.conferences -%} + {%- if conf.cfp_ext -%} + {%- assign cfp = conf.cfp_ext -%} + {%- else -%} + {%- assign cfp = conf.cfp -%} + {%- endif -%} + {%- if cfp != "TBA" and cfp != "Cancelled" and cfp != "None" -%} + {%- assign cfp_epoch = cfp | date: "%s" | plus: 0 -%} + {%- if cfp_epoch >= today and cfp_epoch <= horizon %} + + {{ conf.conference | xml_escape }} {{ conf.year }} — CFP closes {{ cfp | date: "%b %-d" }} + {{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/conference/{{ conf.conference | slugify: "latin" }}-{{ conf.year }}/ + {{ conf.conference | slugify: "latin" }}-{{ conf.year }} + {{ site.time | date_to_rfc822 }} + {{ site.title | xml_escape }} + {{ conf.sub }} + 📍 {{ conf.place | xml_escape }} · 📅 {% translate_file dates/pretty_dates.html start=conf.start end=conf.end %}
