Hey Adam,

 With the switch from Unity to GNOME in Artful (17.10), will Ubuntu

Ubuntu continue to have its own, separate online accounts system? Has
 this been decided?

We are going to use gnome-online-account, the goal is to align with
upstream technologies where it makes sense. Did you have specific
concerns about us switching or not?

This is good news. In a couple of software projects I've been involved in (Shotwell, Geary) it's taken significant effort to support both GNOME Online Accounts and Ubuntu Online Accounts since we wanted to run both on Ubuntu and other GNOME-based systems. This will be a great simplication.

My immediate concern is that gnome-calendar is installed by default in Zesty but is semi-broken: I'm unable to add a Google calendar to it, as described at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calendar/+bug/1551769

I believe the problem is likely due to an Ubuntu Online Accounts issue. But if UOA is going away anyway then I'm not inclined to debug it too deeply.
