[Rack] datasource for calendar of events

[Patrick Keys]

On further thought...
The wiki page for the calendar of events is here:
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Events

If the page were written semantically in some meaningful way, I could 
just get that entire page and use javascript to get the actual event data.
