Some future event URLs may not be live yet since sched.com pages appear closer to the event.
This project automatically downloads presentation slides from KubeCon and related cloud-native conferences. These events use sched.com to manage their schedules, and presenters often upload their slide decks there. Instead of clicking through dozens of session pages and downloading each file manually, you run this tool and it grabs everything at once. The tool works by scanning a sched.com event page for slide download links and pulling down all the files it finds. It comes with a list of pre-configured event URLs covering KubeCon, IstioCon, and colocated events from 2023 through 2025 across regions like China, Europe, North America, India, and Japan. You can also point it at a specific event by providing a URL, and it will fetch just that event's slides. A validation script lets you check whether a given sched.com URL is live and how many slide files are available before running the full download. This is useful for anyone who wants to study past conference talks, catch up on sessions they missed, or build a local archive of technical presentations. A developer preparing for a certification might download slides from relevant talks to review. A team lead could pull slides from a specific KubeCon to share with colleagues. Conference organizers or community members might use it to archive materials before they disappear from the web. The tool is written in Python and can run directly or through a container image, which bundles everything needed to run it without installing dependencies yourself. When using the container approach, you need to map a local folder so the downloaded files end up somewhere you can access them. The README notes that some future event URLs may not be live yet, since sched.com pages appear closer to event dates.
