Import meetings/events from Google Calendar #116

Would this be useful for some groups? Are all Brigades on Meetup.com by default? Meetup.com does cost money, so potentially its not suitable for all groups.

Interested in what others think.

Definitely sounds like a good idea. Not all events are meetups! I could work on this, as I was just playing around with the GCal API (but via JS, not Python).

This would be a great addition!

I don't know enough about calendar feeds to know what format to ask for. What would the organizations point us to? In Google Calendar I see I can share an XML link or a iCal link. Any recommendations?

run_update.py

In main() we'd add a check to the supplied link. If its Meetup, go as normal. If GCal, run a new function that parses the calendar link.

+1 for GCal
