Description

Implement a simple Hangfire job that fetches events from a chosen public RSS feed (or similar), parses them, and logs results. No database integration required yet.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a new Hangfire job class with a method that fetches an RSS feed URL, parses the XML response, and logs the parsed events. Register the job with Hangfire using an IRecurringJobManager or via the Dashboard. Test the job by triggering it manually.
