I've been slightly side-tracked from my quest to host my own blog by the search for a good calendar and todo list application. It is still sort of relevant, because I'd like to embed my calendar in my blog. It's really useful to point family members to a web calendar and say, "You pick a free night for us to have dinner ( Read more... )

calendar, open source, gcaldaemon, google calendar, sunbird

The company where I work is almost entirely standardized on OS X except for a few servers which I as a developer never have to touch. Yet we have a scheduling system that's such a monstrosity that nobody on the dev team touches it. I guess maybe iCal wasn't/isn't cut out for enterprise use?

Anyway, having a network standardized on OS X is quite interesting. It's not without problems but it's a hell of a lot better than Windows.

First of all, there is an RTM Provider Add-on for Sunbird/Lightning here that provides two-way access: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/7125. It suffers the same problem as the GCal Provider in that you have to be connected to the Internet to use it. This has been a problem for me as I've been trying to get my Treo 680 to sync up (through Ubuntu) into Thunderbird/Lightning and then from Lightning to GCal/RTM. I was able to sync the Treo 680 through kpilot to an iCal file and then create a calendar from that iCal file. The problem is that the GCal Provider looks online, so I end up with duplicate calendars (one from online and one local). I've been trying to use googlecalendarsync, but I'm going to also look into GCalDaemon. And please keep me posted on your efforts to link GCalDaemon to RTM. Thanks for the work.
