Dates on conference list

[chrissearle]

In a (probably vain) attempt to avoid having to re-write the iOS app next year and the year after and ... I'd thought to do the following:

At app start - if no data - fetch a list of all conferences - store in CoreData.

Sort by date - pick newest.

Give the user a settings view that lists all conferences in reverse date order - so that they can change if they want.

But the dates on the conferences are all 1970 - I can't sort on that, I can't pick newest either.

I'm currently picking them from http://test.java.no/ems-redux/server/events (events collection).

In fact - all I really want here is start date - at this level I don't care about time or stop - but they don't hurt if they are present :)
