This is a TOTAL hack which I'm sure breaks Google/ics compatibility.  But 
here's what we had to do to get asterisk and owncloud to work together. 
We're still using owncloud 4.5.13 although I suspect the hack will work 
with owncloud 5.x.  Also we're using asterisk 11.5.0 however I'm quite 
sure this worked with 1.8.xx releases.

You will need to make three changes to res/res_calendar_caldav.c

I don't have the exact line numbers from the original source as we made a 
few other minor mods, and there are some other changes from 1.8.x to 
11.5.0, but these line numbers should enable you to find the 
correct locations in res/res_calendar_caldav.c.
