Connector for OrgSync (V2)

OrgSync (v2 api) has a very simple view of events created within OrgSync. A connector is available to consume these events and synchronize them with a Bedework collection.

There are some issues with the api:

OrgSync doesn't support the HEAD operation and gives a 500 error. To get the current etag we do an initial GET and discard the remaining response.
There is no timezone information in the events.
The uid is an internal - short - eventid. Prefixing makes this more acceptable.

Creating an OrgSync subscription

You probably want the incoming events to all be flagged with a specific category or categories. This can be useful for filtering.It makes it easier to include the calendar collections imported by the sync engine. Before carryign ut the folowing steps ensure these categories are created.

Mapping Locations

The update process uses a key field set in locations to map the OrgSync locations. The key field value should be an exact copy of what appears in the OrgSync events.
