Displaying a Google calendar in a Plone site

Question

What's the recommended way to display the contents of a google calendar in a Plone site? Ideally the entries in the google calendar should act as kind of virtual events in Plone.

I do not like to generate events out of google calendar like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/p4a.plonecalendar does, it's more just using the data from google calendar. Any changes in google calendar should be reflected on the plone site without any manual interaction.

I'd suggest simply embedding fullcalendar.js on your site and displaying the events there:

This does not mirror event data to Plone, simply pulls data from live Google Calendar JavaScript APIs and displays them in a pretty box.
