Hi Tom/Joachim!

Nice! Mac OS X users can use this in iCal [1], too! I'm not quite
sure the name, Calendar.ics is very convincing. I have about 10
other calendars displayed in iCal and naming one of them just
"Calendar" is, well, not enough. I'd suggest EPC2003.ics.

Also, the content might not be entirely correct, see the shortened
SUMMARY line in the sample below. Unless this is for readability,
I thin it's also quite common to have one such line including the
: really on one line, like this:

BEGIN:VEVENT
SEQUENCE:8
UID:314C0163-70B3-11D7-822A-00039345C610
DTSTAMP:20030416T110342Z
SUMMARY:Giulia Menchiari
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=04
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:19730424
DURATION:P1D
END:VEVENT

While this is an excerpt from your file:

BEGIN:VEVENT
UID
   :03107191712
DTSTART
   :20030626T114500Z
DTEND
   :20030626T123000Z
SUMMARY
   :Track: Python Business Room: A Speaker: John Pinner Title: Real 
World Python Bu
URL
   :http://www.europython.org/sessions/talks/talk?itemId=03107191712
END:VEVENT

You can find more about the format in the RFC below [2].
