Basically we need to ‘publish’ your local calendar so other systems (like Carousel) can read it in. By default, your iCal is not shared. Here’s how we do it!

Open iCal

Right click on the calendar you want to share and select ‘Publish…’

There are two ways to publish the calendar. First, to Apple’s MobileMe service. This is the easiest, but it does require a MobileMe account with Apple. The second it to publish to a private server. You may need your IT department to help with this option as it requires an internal web server to work. We will be using MobileMe.

Remember to select the ‘Publish changes automatically’ option.

Now iCal will publish the calendar to my MobileMe account.

Once the calendar is published, iCal will give us a URL to the calendar. Remember this URL! We will use it in Carousel.

We can put the URL into Carousel

And now we get an EDS page in Carousel with our event!
