As I've recently discovered, a Linux user who wants personal management or productivity apps should just switch to Mac OS X. iCal (no relation) is a pretty nice calendar, and it can sync with my Nokia mobile phone, which can remind me of appointments while I'm away from my computers. Linux has multisync, but as far as I'm aware multisync can't synchronize calendars with a bluetooth cell phone.

Probably this is not the answer LWN was looking for. Did you try the old CDE calendar? Or perhaps the XFCE Calendar could work ( as seen in http://www.xfce.org/images/screenshots/xfcalendar.png ).

This seems a bit like selling your house because you don't like the carpeting!

Is this in the stable release yet? I'm not sure that it is..

I'm running XFce 4.0.3.1 and that has XFCalendar. It integrates nicely into the system tray in the taskbar. It's a little lacking in features though. No alarms and no ability to schedule events for a particular time and duration for example.

I would say that it would make a grumpy editor even grumpier!

Why? As was already told about the carpeting, but also I want to remark (again and again) that we use Linux because it's free, or perhaps because is Linux, but not because it's "Unix". If I have to migrate to something else propietary, OSX and XP fall in the same propietary category.
