Hey Mike,
I'm confused, as Oliver and I pointed out this is already on the wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#Upcoming_office_hours ?
In my opinion the main goal of the mission is getting information and education out to everyone as much as we can. This seems completely in line with that mission having it both on the wiki (completely open source, editable etc) and on another, heavily used and requested, location. Refusing to put it on google calendar solely because it's closed source would, in my mind, by nuts.

I agree with James and Oliver - this is not a replacement of the existing office hours that are timetabled on Meta-Wiki, instead just a duplication of them in a format that will be easier for people to add to their mobile devices (phones, tablets) and for people that use Google Calendars for personal use, they will be able to see the IRC office hours with their normal calendar so as to raise awareness and increase community participation in them.
