The problem of course is that few calendar entries have geocodable
location data. But other than that, calendar should be a very useful
source for status data and/or location (it at least knows when I'm
"Busy").

BTW: if we solve the question of geocoding calendar entries, it could
also be used for things like automatically generating driving
directions from current location to next meeting (or querying a public
transport route planner for the same).

Some other ideas here:
