Import Calendar data

[Ken Smith]

I'm new to the list, as I have been directed here from
users@....

I need to import approx 6000 calendar entries from Outlook into OGo. I
have been experimenting with MS Access/ODBC to directly update the OGo
database but I'm aware I could compromise the integrity of the database
through my lack of understanding of the schema.

I can easily get the source data into .csv format.

Is there an simple way to use some kind of script to upload such a data
set.

I know nothing about python so I'm starting from zero.

Thanks

Ken

Then, take a look here at zOGI:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/

There in the wiki, you will besides other interesting stuff, an example sync
script for persons/companies:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/wiki/ExampleImportSyncScript
Just replace the person with a Appointment entity:
http://code.google.com/p/zogi/wiki/Appointment
should get you started.

I also started to learn python some weeks ago, just to be able to understand
and extend the zOGI examples to sync contact data with the ogo database.
It took a little while, but in the end definitely worth the effort.

kind regards
Sebastian
