Wouldn't it be nice if one could click on talk titles in the schedule table and jump to the webpage of the respective talk? Some terminals, such as iTerm2 and GNOME Terminal, support the displaying of terminal-hyperlinks (clickable without printing the URL). We use this terminal feature to indeed make the talk titles clickable! The only thing you need to do is call JuliaCon.today(; terminal_links=true). If you like what you see, you can use JuliaCon.set_terminallinks(true) to set a permanent default.
Utilizing TimeZones.jl, we try to respect your local time zone and try to convert all the JuliaCon UTC times appropriately. By default, we will use TimeZones.localzone() to figure out your local time zone. But you can also manually set your time zone via set_local_timezone(tz::AbstractString). Note that you need to restart Julia to see the effect of the change.
When it is needed, the package fetches the JuliaCon schedule (schedule.json) from the JuliaConDataArchive and keeps the information in memory for further usage. Hence, by default, the fetching happens once per Julia session. To force an update of the JuliaCon schedule you can call update_schedule().
If fetching the schedule.json takes longer than 5 seconds - you can change this default via JuliaCon.set_timeout(secs) - the package will fall back to using the last cached version (which might be stale).
As per default, the location of the cache is .julia/datadeps/JuliaConSchedule. You can use JuliaCon.set_cachedir(path) to change this default.
There are three cache modes: :DEFAULT, :NEVER, :ALWAYS. You can switch between them by calling JuliaCon.set_cachemode(mode) appropriately.
:DEFAULT: As described above: tries to download / update the schedule and falls back to the cache if necessary.:NEVER: The cache will never be used / created. If the download fails it fails.:ALWAYS: Always use the cachedschedule.json. Never attempts to download / update it.

JuliaCon.talksabout("Optics")This package makes the code on the JuliaCon 2021/2022/2023/2024 T-shirts work! Of course, you should buy one here!
To make the @everywhere do something you need to start Julia with multiple worker processes: julia -p 4.
