Designed to sync information about your Drupal nodes to a Google calendar. There are site-wide settings for your Google Calendar account information and node-specific configuration settings for exact values such as dates, timezones, event location and event information. Each node type can have different field settings to suit your needs.
I hate to delay the release of this plugin but I am currently reworking some of the preferences to take advantage of Token more effectively.
The initial design for the module was that dates for the calendar entries would be determined by some process on specific CCK date fields from the node type. The module would take care of date format construction under the hood. I was initially fine with this decision until implementing it inside the project it was designed for.
This post is just to give some back story to the original needs of this module because I think it may help someone reading the documentation and asking “how can this help me?” while being a bit more anecdotal and less technical than the documentation. I will go in to more detail about the module design and usage in coming posts, so don’t feel bad if you don’t read this. :)

I have submitted the module to the Drupal community for review and am just waiting on full git access to be granted for the project.
I have made a few changes in the way Tokens are processed and have creating, updating and deleting calendar entries working smoothly. I am not exactly happy with bundling Zend with this module, but I was not about to re-write bindings for the Google Data APIs. The hard part of dealing with Google APIs in Drupal really is the lack of lightweight bindings.
This is a test post that should show up on my personal Google calendar.
Update: It does.
I have attached a couple of screenshots to this page.

This module comes bundled with the Zend Gdata API bindings in the /includes folder.
