Importing events

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I would like to import a number of events, but I cannot find a module that works.
Node import doesn't do events; importexportapi doesn't work either. I have the following questions:

1; Is there a module that does import events (preferably from a csv-file)?

2; As a workaround I consider the following:
- import events as other type that does work with node import
- change the type in node-table to event
- import required dates in content_type_events-table (with vid/nid data)
Is that a solution or will I break the database?

I'm new at OpenPublish and Drupal so any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Manually changing the database works, but Node Import doesn't work. What can I use to import new nodes in OpenPublish 2.2 that works?

You should use the Table

You should use the Table Wizard and Migrate modules. http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupal-data-imports-migrate-and-table-w...

If you manage your events in Google Calendar it would just be easier to continue to manage them there and user Feeds or Feed API to import the iCal.

For what I needed Gcal events was suitable. Very easy to configure and with the ability to merge calendars.
