[svlug] Google Calendar of bay area Linux events

[James Sparenberg]

Despite being forced into exchange compatible mode, I don't have much calendar 
savvy.  But IIRC google calendars are a subscription enabled media.  I think 
it would be cool to have read only access to a calendar of what's going on.  
Maybe then I'd remember the Cabal the day BEFORE it.
