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

[Paul Nijjar]

As a followup, I got this working with gcalcli. It is kind of ugly,
but it works. I have a shell script that launches a vim window with a
template to fill out, when then calls gcalcli to make the API call. I
am not thrilled with this but it works well enough for simple events.
