Re: [free-software-melb] looking for calendar application

Hello Is there a free and/or opensource calendar application? Can't find one on sourceforge. Tried mozilla sunbird. But I want to do this:

I have dropbox on two computers connected by short range wireless/ethernet internet. Person on computer a wants to make a calendar file, save it, drop into dropbox, then i see it on computer b, and i make the file public and email a link to business colleagues with the schedule calendar file.

I can't get this to occur with mozilla sunbird. Please don't suggest thunderbird/lightning. I use that. But he can't email. He needs an idiot level calendar application for windows. Sunbird saves as weird.ics files that I can't open. If I can't open them how will anyone else use them?

Does such a calendar application exist?

Thank you Andrew

I've not used it myself, but Evolution includes a calendar that might be able to do what you want. .ics is a standard format, I don't know why you're having trouble with it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar. Bernie
