[kwlug-disc] Adding to Google Calendar from SSH window

[Paul Nijjar]

As I said, I was hoping for something more interactive. But I can
probably make this work. I would write the calendar entry in a text
file, parse that file and feed it into the python interface. 

If somebody has used something else, I would be interested to know.
