How defconparrot/defcongroups works
This repository is a curated DEF CON Groups directory: someone looking for a nearby group consults the regional listings, which are also present as HTML, PDF, and spreadsheet editions. The README additionally documents group FAQs, best practices, inactive/banned/merged status, and contact or registration guidance, but those details are not all visible in the sampled files. The sampled spreadsheet utility checks links and duplicate names and produces corrected spreadsheet and report outputs. Relationships beyond the documented directory use and the utility’s shown behavior are omitted.
