Google calendar

Google calendar

[Richard Riley]

I'd like to get something going between my blackberry and org-mode. I
guess the best way is probably via Google calendar. Anyone currently
linking org-mode to Google calendar and if so what process are you
using?

Thanks for any pointers,

r.

I'm using org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files and upload the
resulting ics file to google calendar about once a week.

I'm afraid that's the best I have at the moment. Direct integration of
org-mode with google calendar would be nice and could probably be done
via gclient (an Implementation of google api which is part of the
emacspeak suite) but I didn't look into this yet.

You could also put the ics file on a public webserver and have google
calendar read the ics file via http, if you don't mind that the whole
world sees your appointments (unfortunately I do mind, so that's no
solution for me).

Kind regards

Yes, I was looking at that. Googlecalendar's ability to include other
calendars is really cool. And that combined with  gsync to the
blackberry is almost working for me. A few issues at the moment but am
playing. Seems nice.

Yes, I did that. Just "hide it" and don't publish your Google calendar to
anyone but yourself.

Hmm, dont know if its Google side or export side, but todo's are not
showing up on GC when I add via url my org.ics.

I do have

      org-icalendar-include-todo

set too.

I only trust encryption to hide things properly.

Yup, google calendar doesn't deal with todos at all. However if you
SCHEDULE the todo item, it will show up as an appointment on the
scheduled date.

I'm looking at rtm to integrate my org-todos with my android phone,
but again, little time and thus little progress on that front.

I have todos appearing now, but as events (see org-icalendar.*
variables) . I see there is a VTODO in the ical spec too : I will have a
play with an ics file and see if there are better export options
perhaps.
