Great Job!! It's all the things that I need. I really want the simply solution to transfer google calendars into Mozilla Sunbird, then I can receive simply notification for events.
Thank you for your great great job. It helps me a lot.

@cimenta: For use with nightly builds of Lightning / Sunbird, you must use the version of gdata-provider.xpi found on FTP in the same directory as the Lightning nightly (gdata-provider 0.6pre for current nightlies of Sunbird/Lightning 1.0pre), not the one found here.

Release Notes
This version of the Provider for Google Calendar REQUIRES Sunbird/Lightning 0.9
This version also contains all locales that are shipped with Sunbird/Lightning 0.9. If you would like to use the Provider with a 1.0pre version, you need to use a Provider nightly from :
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/
A warning for those of you that have used previous versions (before 0.5), both ATTENDEES and INVITATIONS are enabled and sent by default, due to a Google server bug being fixed.
Note that it is not possible to accept an invitation received via email onto your Google Calendar. To correctly use invitations, please be sure to enable the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar" option, invitations will then automatically be shown in the application's invitation manager or in the calendar views.
Note there are some limitations with alarms, especially on recurring events.
