Events with no location export with location = “none” string

[osteele]

To reproduce:

• Open http://events.olin.build/
• Copy ICS link to Clipboard
• Open https://calendar.google.com/
• “Add by URL” the ICS link

Expected:

• Events with no location will not display location text in the Google Calendar day, week, or month views; e.g. “Labor Day”

Actual:

• Events with no location display “none” as the location; e.g. “Labor Day – none”. See screenshots.

This is a backend issue more than a frontend issue (issue opened), but I suppose we could make sure we don't send location if it's empty. Currently it looks like we'll send an empty string.

We should probably not have anything for location in the event data that goes to the server if the location field is blank. Then we'll need to make sure the backend knows not to export None (which looks like a Python artifact) when generating an ICS feed.

You'll want to use the Firefox developer tools to watch what data is being sent back and forth to the server.
