Thanks Charlie. I'm investigating this -- It doesn't seem like it should occur in the method you described (and I've reproduced).

The other case where you would get a similar behavior would be on a calendar which represents a resource. In this case, the resource could be configured to auto-accept, and a gd:who similiar to the one you posted, would be added to the event entry. However, you would see another gd:who representing the organizer in that case.

Cheers,

One of our users figured out when this is happening, and I've been able to reliably reproduce it:

* Create an event in your default calendar * Edit the event so it belongs to a different calendar (in this case named "Calendar 2") * Request the event via the API

The event will now have a <gd:who /> element like this:

<gd:who rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.organizer" valueString="Calendar 2" email="xxxx@group.calendar.google.com"> <gd:attendeeStatus value=""/> </gd:who>

Is that the intended behavior?

Thanks, Charlie

I've seen several cases where an event doesn't have any attendees in the web UI, but when fetched via the API has a <gd:who /> element like this:

<gd:who rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.organizer' valueString='Main' email='xxxx@group.calendar.google.com'><gd:attendeeStatus value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.accepted'></ gd:attendeeStatus></gd:who>

"Main" happens to be the name of the calendar. Is this expected? If so, under what conditions? I can't reproduce it.
