Ability to add links to slides or videos

[steven-ellis]

It would be great if post event we could add additional links to PDF or downloads of slides or to any videos of the sessions. This would require extending the schema and formatting to allow URLs.

How do you imagine it working? Like, what is needed/wanted?

The way it would work code-wise:

1. add some URL(s) to the YAML in rh-events
2. add support in the schema so validate.rb works
3. add support to grab the URL(s) from the data in the calendar viewer
4. port the support from Devoxx: Measuring performance and capacity planning in Java-based data grids #3 to various sites

Currently, conference URLs are included inline in the descriptions. It feels like they should be added as url: in the YAML and additional URLs should be handled differently, like supplemental URLs.

How common are PDFs, slides, and presentations? It could be presentation: and then URL(s), I think... unless it's going to be more generic than just presentations.

If the links are to be displayed always in the same site-style way, then a new field (or multiple is different usage) makes sense. If each specific post event would need it wrapped with text & co in a custom way then the description in MD is fine.
