Hi,
I have started a /google calendar/ synchronization ~Emacs~ module. Rather than
using =ical= format, I use directly ~Google~ =API=. For sure it is less usefull for
other calendar services, but it will keep working when ~Google~ is stopping
supporting =caldav=.
For now, only fetch from ~Google~ is implemented, but extension (then push and
sync) should be quiet easy to manage.
You will find it [[https://github.com/bateast/google-calendar][here (github)]].
If this can be usefull for you,

Sounds interesting. It would be very helpful if you could explain how it is
different from the other synchronization possibilities out there, e.g.
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html
https://code.google.com/p/emacs-google/

two main things make my sync different (also this does not make it more
interesting ;)
- it does not rely on external command
- it does not rely on ics
I always found that relying on external commands makes thing more complex : you
have to configure that command, in its configuration file or through scripted
call by passing right arguments, and then you have to integrate it in your Emacs
workflow.
Using command in Emacs, configured through convenient customization group is so
natural …
Then, my sync. uses Google json API (and authentification using oauth, stored in
crypted file, for no secret in your config file or anywhere else). This make it
by far less portable. But, with Google dropping standards, or juts maintaining
it at there minimal level, it makes it more close to what you can get from
Google calendar and events.
Also using elisp Json library is so easy and robust in regard to parsing ics
files that it sounds very natural to use it.
I don't mean it is better than caldav sync tools, but that I could not find
myself satisfied with those tools, worried about Google call to drop caldav
compatibility, that I feel I need something more close to Google API
possibilities. Then I started it, and just offer to share (that how it works,
right ? ;)
Thanks for the work of the community,
Bat.

Thanks a lot for the info! I agree that natively talking to the JSON API
is a nice feature :)
