Eventdb gem Update - Ruby Conference Calendar Update (Fix)

1

Hello,

FYI: I've updated the eventdb gem (the text parser used for the Ruby
Conference Calendar) to fix a crashing bug in the text parser.

   Now all works again as advertised try:

  $ rubyconf # note: update the eventdb gem first e.g. gem
install eventdb

   Resulting in:

Hello,

   FYI: The planetruby/awesome-events repo now also includes
rubyconf.json [1] - a free (public domain) dataset for easy (re)use.

   Note, the dataset gets (auto-)generated from the README page using
the eventdb gem machinery. See the build.rb script [2] in the repo.
Example:

   require 'eventdb'

  db = EventDb::MemDatabase.new
  db.add( EventDb::EventReader.from_file( './README.md' ).read )

  cal = EventDb::EventCalendar.new

  File.open( './data/rubyconf.json', 'w' ) do |f|
    f.write cal.render( template: "./templates/rubyconf.json.erb" )
end

Cheers.
