I'm Harry, and I'm really hoping I can help both specifically with
respect to U.S.-based data and in general with OpenTrack. I spoke with
Andy about the project briefly last week, and I'm hopeful that I can
help contribute. I'll do my best to be on the call Wednesday to discuss
all these ideas.

I had some time last week so I made a little program to parse USATF's
meets directory (~2700 upcoming meets) and output JSON in a format
similar to this one (I used
<http://opentrack.run/athlib/build/html/schemas.html#competitions> as a
reference).

Of course, although much of the information gathered is basic we
hesitate to include them in the OpenTrack directory until we get
permission from USATF, which I don't think will be much of an issue once
we reach out to them. I have worked for USATF on the association but not
the national level and could maybe help with this.

The code is here:
https://gitlab.com/hapre/usatfmeets

And more specifically the JSON is here:
https://gitlab.com/hapre/usatfmeets/tree/master/out

You can see some of the extra fields (description, meet director info,
USATF certification, etc.) I've added and event code modifications
(1-hour-runs, mountain runs) I changed to match all of the USATF data.
I'll try to provide some more detail as to the specific changes I made
and feedback on the proposed spec before the meeting.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help or clarify.

Harry
