Load schedule from QR code without internet about giggity HOT 6 CLOSED

from giggity.

I agree that for large conferences such as FOSDEM2019, the schedule is becomes too large for QR generation (let alone scanning).

But I want to make the claim that it's useful for some of the conferences. I picked randomly some conferences from the builtin ones and they all fit in a QR code (after gzip -9). It can be scanned from a printout or from screen and be useful for some scenarios.

examples -

GUADEC2018

capitole_du_libre_2018

JDLL 2019

35c3 main rooms only

Thanks for pinging! Sorry I'm traveling and not able to pay much attention for a while :-(

Anyway, your GUADEC2018 example decodes to 800 bytes of compressed data, I still struggle to understand how that one can contain useful enough data.. how much is that after decompression? Is that with all descriptions strpiped, leaving just 1 day of data and a few times + talk titles for a small number of rooms? The original file at https://2018.guadec.org/documents/schedule.xml is 50KB, gzip -9 takes that to a whopping 13KB..

@Wilm0r good catch... qr.exe from python-qr encoder was encoding an incomplete file.
