Backend for pulling calendar data

[thimbleforth]

I'll take point on this Issue.

Grabbing all the (future) events from a Meetup.com link, and syncing them to a db somewhere. Then a quick and dirty UI to show them.

I intend to use an RSS feed pull to do this, if possible. It's simple and repeatable wherever.

DB at this point will just be a SQLITE DB with basic calls, so it's testable. The interface I put together for it will be agnostic enough that pivoting to something like Cosmos or RDBS is easy.

We investigated the RSS feed option and couldn't find event dates in the RSS feeds anywhere. We are currently waiting to see if a free meetup.com account will get approval for API access, which should provide the information we need. Otherwise, we'll have to scrape. There will need to be an API for the frontend to use to get the list of upcoming events. From slack:

Our API can be so simple. Title, description, date and time of the event, location, and link to actual event site
