Syncevolution has an export feature for contacts/calendar/notes of a profile
to a file or a directory or to the stdout:

for example

$./syncevolution --export -  myovi calendar
prints all my Calendar Entries

You can get it from here:
http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/syncevolution

Here is how to configure it:

syncevolution/src/backends/akonadi/Readme


Checkout syncevolution/src/backends/akonadi/akonadisyncsource.*

for the code, its well commented,Eventhough it isn't Ruby, I have a feeling
that this is all you need ...
I'm sure you can get your way through :)

Cheers,
Dinesh
