org-gcal.el VS ical2org

- Org-gcal

PS: I've asked a similar question before and I know of org-caldav, which still requires a CalDAV proxy and org-gcal, which only works for Google.

As for your question, I use org-gcal, which was working fine for me, but the recent update and switch to oauth-2.0 means I have to re-authenticate about every 48 hrs. Not sure if that's down to me or inherent in the package, but it's worth trying IMO.

There is an opened PR about this. https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/pull/200

I guess this is the currently maintained version https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el

Perhaps you are looking at the old version? This is I believe the current one, I've been using it for some time and it has been working pretty well https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el And not sure which oauth you are meaning, but there are changes coming later this year, which I think are tracked here https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/issues/191

It turns out there is now a bug in org-gcal-fetch (which affects org-gcal-sync) that "forces org files into active window". This leads to a one-line fix that solves the issue (changing switch-to-buffer to set-buffer in org-generic-id.el).

Background: I maintain org-gcal, a package that lets users synchronize Google Calendar events with Org-mode files. One of the features that I have is a way to download the event description as HTML. Right now, I just download the raw HTML and place it in a drawer.

Is there anything to be done at this point? org-gcal still works for me at the moment, but I'm guessing it won't come October. The maintainer's github page (at least that's who I think is the maintainer) doesn't mention this issue at the moment though.

I've been trying to use the awk script from here with a calendar file that has all of my meetings this year, but whenever I run the script, using awk -f ical2org.awk < input.ics> converted.org I only get the first meeting to be converted, not all of them. Does anyone know what's the error? Happy to share the ICS file if you dm, or please direct me to another subreddit that would know better.

I used to do this! I had an awk script that converted an ical to org-mode, and made a recurring systemd task to retrieve the ical file daily using curl or something similar, and ran the script on it to produce an org file, which was then moved to my org directory; as well as an elisp function to do the same if I needed an immediate update.
