There's probably a straightforward Ruby tool for this, or otherwise, maybe a [Python](http://vobject.skyhouseconsulting.com/) script could be written? \r\n\r\nI think it would be useful to export birthdays using ppl, not just because you can write a title like *firstname's birthday* but mainly because you can have the complete contact info in the description. Also, one of the reasons I like ppl is because I'm too stupid to get the age of a person on his/her birthday right :) A recurring event won't help me be confident about the age per se, unless I also write a short table of dates and ages to the description as a mnemonic. \r\n\r\nOn a related note, and i haven't tried it: to be notified for a birthday using [birthday](http://www.freshports.org/misc/birthday/) one could simply write `bd name=DD/MM/YYYY` to `~/.birthdays`. It's probably easy to use ppl's bang alias feature for that."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hnrysmth/ppl/issues/comments/69924312","html_url":"https://github.com/hnrysmth/ppl/issues/53#issuecomment-69924312","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hnrysmth/ppl/issues/53","id":69924312,"user":{"login":"untitaker","id":837573,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/837573?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker","html_url":"https://github.com/untitaker","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/untitaker/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-14T14:36:15Z","updated_at":"2015-01-14T14:36:15Z","body":"I've found https://github.com/reinteractive-open/vpim-rails-reinteractive/blob/master/samples/vcf-to-ics.rb, I'd be glad if somebody wrote something more lightweight (less dependencies), or better maintained."}}
