Allow team to import events from an iCal source

Status in LoCo Directory: Triaged
Bug description:
The Belgian LoCo Team already has an event calendar on its website. And I bet
many LoCo Teams already have their own calendars managed through various
solutions. Currently, the only way to add events to the LoCo Directory is to
add have a team member to add them manually.
This means that if such a team want to maintain it's calendar on the LoCo
Directory and duplicate it on its own website, events must be added to the LoCo
Directory by a team member then imported on the team website using the LoCo
Directory API (or iCal feed, if available). Which require custom code since the
LoCo Directory doesn't expose the events information in a any importable
standard format.
It would be nice to have the option to import events and, as a side effect,
venues from external sources.
It would probably increase usage of the LoCo Directory as a central community
agenda. It also allow the LoCo Directory events management to be kept simple
while enabling teams to use more powerful tools if wanted or needed.
It's likely that most solutions used by LoCo team support iCal export to stable
URLs so this could be used as input format.
