Info Export for DEF CON 33

Export DEF CON conference data from Firebase for use on info.defcon.org

---

Overview

This Node.js script pulls a set of sub-collections under conferences/DEFCON33 from your Firebase project, writes them out as raw JSON, and then applies a couple of light transformations for schedule grouping and speaker enrichment.

By default, it:

1. Fetches raw data under conferences/DEFCON33/{articles,content,documents,events,locations,menus,organizations,speakers,tagtypes}
2. Writes to:
   • out/ht/conference.json — the main conference document
   • out/ht/articles.json
   • out/ht/content.json
   • out/ht/documents.json
   • out/ht/events.json
   • out/ht/locations.json
   • out/ht/menus.json
   • out/ht/organizations.json
   • out/ht/speakers.json
   • out/ht/tagtypes.json
3. Generates four “derived” files:
   • out/ht/schedule.json — events grouped by day
   • out/ht/people.json — speakers with embedded event references
   • out/ht/processedContent.json — Content refined and enriched
   • out/ht/search.json — IDs, titles, and types

---

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 18
• npm or yarn
• A Firebase project containing a conferences/DEFCON33 document and the above sub-collections
• A src/config.js (or environment variables) specifying your CONFERENCE_CODE and any other Firebase settings

---

Installation

git clone https://github.com/junctor/info-export.git
cd info-export
npm install

---

Configuration

Edit src/config.js (or set env-vars) to point at your Firebase project and conference code:

export const CONFERENCE_CODE = "DEFCON33";
export const FIRESTORE_ROOT = ["conferences", CONFERENCE_CODE];

---

Usage

Run the exporter with:

npm run export

By default this will:

1. Read CONFERENCE_CODE from your config
2. Fetch all listed collections
3. Write raw JSON into ./out/ht
4. Produce schedule.json and people.json
