SRCCON’s proposals/sessions page lists authors with twitter accounts. This command-line script uses regex and the t tool to extract twitter handles and add them to a list:

      $ t list create srccon2016

      $ curl -s http://srccon.org/sessions/proposals/ | 
            ack 'twitter.com/@?(\w+)' --output '$1' | 
            tr [:upper:] [:lower:] | 
            sort | uniq | 
            xargs t list add srccon2016

The resulting list: https://twitter.com/dancow/lists/srccon2016

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/43020 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif
