At one point in time the university had a sitelicense for meeting maker. Considering that meeting maker was non-free and google calendar provided the same functionality the university naturally decided to discontinue the use of meeting maker. The program was intended to allow meeting maker users to transition from meeting maker to google calendar with ease.

The php script would take a meeting maker exported text file as input and parse the file using regular expressions to remove garbage (commonly known as "gremlins" here at BCF) and format the data into a type of csv file that google calendar could then import. The script's interface is about as simple as it could get, all you do is browse for the text file then hit upload and you're presented with a download dialog for the processed csv which you would then feed into google calendar.
