The process is already described here:

It's not much of a post, but it may be of help to someone who tried the Google option when setting up the calendar sync in Evolution and found it less than satisfactory.
Edit 16/12/2011:
Recently (last two days, version 3.0.3-3) been getting error messages in evolution when trying to connect to my google calendar. While using the method described above for a while I switched to using 'google' instead of 'caldav' as the calendar type at some point. Well, it doesn't work anymore.
Here's how to use google calendar in Evolution:
New -> Calendar
Type -- CalDav
URL: caldav://www.google.com/calendar/dav/myemail%40gmail.com/events/
Use SSL: yes
User name: myemail@gmail.com
User email: myemail@gmail.com
Then clock 'Browse server for calendar and select the
+ /calendar/dav/myemail%40gmail.com/
- myemail@gmail.com
Whether you want to copy content offline or use it as default calendar is a personal choice.

Well, it's not working anymore. Same TLS handshake BS as before.
"Error loading calendar
Cannot open calendar: Unexpected HTTP status code 6 returned (Peer failed to perform TLS handshake)"
What I can't understand is why there is no good description of this problem on the web, given that Evolution is the default email and calendar client for gnome. I don't like thunderbird/icedove+sunbird/iceowl much, but things seem to work better in general there.

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
