Guild events calendar sync

[ennioVisco]

Current limitation
Right the bot does not consider the server/guild scheduled events

Nice to have
It would be nice to have the bot do 2-way syncing with Google Calendar

Additional context
Scheduled events API seem to be available: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild-scheduled-event#guild-scheduled-event

This is actually already on the roadmap for a future version of the bot, but doesn't have an open issue yet.
I'm not 100% sure on its current status, but I know @NovaFox161 is working on it.

I would absolutely love to have this supported in some form, but I'm waiting on the library we use to implement it (Discord4J)

The problem is, I'm the one working on the PR for this (Discord4J/Discord4J#1046), but the discord API for this is fairly messy and non-ideal, so I'm not 100% how to actually implement it into D4J (mainly the caching portions).

Until I or another person finishes the PRs I started, the feature is stalled on DisCal unfortunately. But, I am actively working on building support for several new things in the bot so development isn't waiting on this one feature.

I have now some free time and some decent Java developing experience, what issue can I support you with?
It's the first time I've seen the Discord4j library...

Also, the API from the docs here: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild-scheduled-event#guild-scheduled-event looks fairly straightforward; what do you find to be messy? Is it maybe different from the other older ones?

[NovaFox161]

I appreciate the thought, but you fundamentally misunderstand what the issue is.

Any news on this? I've seen that Guild Events seems to be merged on upstream Discord4J...

That's the only thing holding me back from inviting it to my server!

Haven't gotten to it yet due to life and work. Right now just doing maintenance work on the bot till I have time to work on a major feature addition (the maintenance work also makes it easier to add features in the future).
