Sorry that should have been 1998 which would make more sense for the 7th  conference if the 1st one was around 2001. I've corrected the date in [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spark_parser/1.3.0 

The automated tests in the package just don't  catch stuff like this. But I'm sure there are also other mistakes as well in there so feel free to let me know.
