A feature currently being tested on this web site is synchronization with Google Calendars. A one-way sync. is set up to copy events from the GCL calendars to corresponding Google calendars (updated hourly). Below each calendar on this site, you will see:
Google Calendar (Experimental) iCalendar (via Google) .
The first link takes you to a the embedded Google calendar page where you can click the button to add this calendar to your Google Calendar:
The second link “iCalendar” is the address to the iCalendar format of this calendar. Use this URL to subscribe to this “network” calendar in any calendar application that supports the iCalendar format (i.e. Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Sunbird, Apple iCal). For help on this feature or to report any problems, contact us.
Known Issues:
- Some events in the embedded Google Calendars are not shown on the proper day/time. The reason for this is not known. However, these events seem to be displayed at the proper day/time if you add the specific calendar(s) to your Google Calendar.
- Event times after a change in daylight savings time are off by an hour until a temporary "fix" is applied. Therefore, if you look at events that occur before or after a change in daylight savings time (from the present), their times will be off by one hour.
- Formatting is not properly synchronized with Google Calendars.
