Date/time talk at ElixirConf 2015 in Austin (video)

ElixirConf 2015 took place in Austin, Texas this month. I gave a talk about date and time. It was recorded and the video is now available:

Afterwards some people asked about the Calendar library, which is featured in the video. It is the one I made to cope with the problems explained in the talk and the only library of its kind I would recommend to use in Elixir. The website for it is available at https://github.com/lau/calendar
