Creating new recurring events in fedocal silently fails when you don't specify an end date. This is because 2025-12-31 is invisibly hard-coded as a default value. When a meeting ends before it begins, no calendar entries are created at all.

Since this is a rarely-maintained piece of software I'd suggest changing the 2027 to 2037 in these files:

doc/usage.rst
fedocal/fedocallib/init.py
fedocal/fedocallib/dbaction.py
tests/test_fedocallib.py

There appear to also be some 2038 issues, so just s/2025/2037/ in the source tree will solve the problem.
