The other day, while examining my desktop calendar, I wondered to see if I could somehow sync with Google Calendar, and not only I managed to do that, I also synchronized the calendar with Facebook Events.

First things first...
Let's start configuring Google Calendar. Let's go to Evolution (can do so from console or searching Evolution, or directly from the desktop calendar). You maybe see "Evolution Mail", but the calendar is out there (see the image below):

- Type: Google.
- Name: A name to identify it (eg Google).
- Color: Personally, I chose orange for Google, but it's in you.
- Mark the first option (the sync thing).
- User: Your username Google, without the @gmail.com (eg john@gmail.com -> john).
- Type: On The Web.
- Name: The name identification (eg Facebook).
- Color: As I said before, I chose blue for Facebook.
- One more time, mark the option to sync.
- URL: Let's go to facebook events page, and at the bottom we'll find the Export option. Copy this link and paste it here.
- The option of SSL goes beyond my knowledge. Is up to you (I didn't check it).
- User: Your facebook user (the one you used to login on Facebook).
And presto, that's it, you have configured the Evolution Calendar.
You'll discover that it's very easy to set more calendars, but I only had these two, so my tutorial ends here.
Evolutioned greetings.


Glad you did it :)
