It would be amazing if I could sync Gcal and emacs org-mode, is it possible?

It's emacs, OF COURSE it's possible! Likewise, it's Google, OF COURSE it's possible! Granted, I have no idea how to DO it, but I'm positive that it can be done. (Sorry to not be helpful) – Brian Postow Aug 17 '10 at 15:12

In case more people come back to this question during the next years: since summer 2011 there is a really great solution:

This is a really good extension to emacs for viewing calendar information and runs on top of google calendar & org. Can show events from both in one view but I don't think it pulls the data from iCalendar source into an org-mode file. – koushik Jul 23 '12 at 14:54

Michael Hall made me laugh with his rant on his ambivalent love-affair with the joyous rabbit-hole called org-mode, and being seduced back into it (after escaping into iPhone) by the new MobileOrg app. In that rant he mentions that back in 2007, Bill Clementson had managed to hack a certain "Emacs client for Google Services" by T.V. Raman (of emacspeak fame), which allowed him (Clementson) to sync his emacs diary appointments with his Google Calendar / GCal on the fly. Perhaps you or someone could do the same with it but for org-mode? (I would like to but I am years off in my e-lisp knowledge.)

Have a look at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html and see if this is good enough for you...

You can try this website apart from its more sync calendar rather than Org-Mode.

I havn't tested it yet because it didn't work the first time I tried and I couldn't be bothered to find out why. Perhaps it was simply a typo, anyhoo, I hope you have more luck than me.

or theres this thread that talks about orgmode and gcal. http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg03398.html

but not sure if there is a method, at least there is no out of the box method with org-mode as of yet.
