Huge thanks to @maximiliano and @TheEvilSkeleton for reviewing & merging this very long-awaited UX improvement in GNOME Calendar's infinitely scrolling month view: the previous/next buttons (and corresponding keyboard shortcuts) now properly clamp to the beginning of months when switching months! 

See the "before" vs "after" demonstration videos in the merge request: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/369

I don't feel like explaining this. So I'm just going to post a link to my posts elsewhere & the hashtags. But I'm proud of myself, gods damn it. \^/ If the hashtags are of interest, go look, or just go look if you feel like it? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Article on how to subscribe to your Apple calendar on CalDAV systems, including clients such as Thunderbird. Useful to help integrate Linux systems and similar with your Apple environment.

Another notable feature merged in the GNOME Calendar live coding session today: the ability to export an entire calendar as an .ics file.

This was originally added to the wishlist 10 years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/31

Thanks to @FineFindus's dedication towards implementing this (alongside the individual event .ics export feature) this year, you will be able to use this feature in #GNOME 50 (or the nightly flatpak version of Calendar today): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/615

#GNOMECalendar #calendaring

on the topic of calendar+task management, one component I'm still missing is a desktop #CalDAV solution which either does both, or is composed of two apps which do #calendaring and #tasksorg tasks.

I believe my Android solution will work for my needs, but it'd be better to be able to update both calendar and tasks from desktop too, especially if I ever lose access to my phone.

the issue is that CalDAV support is rare and CalDAV-with-proper-tasks is rarer.

Great news for @EvolutionGnome users: in Evolution 3.58 (expected to ship alongside GNOME 49 in Q4 2025), the calendar events conflict checks in meeting invitations received via email will now respect the user preferences; this will boost performance quite a bit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1441#note_2382738

We will need someone to implement the corresponding per-calendar property in #GNOMECalendar's calendars management GUI, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1297

Does anyone out here have days where they have more than 7 to 10 (or more) all-day events in their #calendaring app, instead of time-based events, and if so, why?
My default assumption is "surely nobody does that?": https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/917

It burns to be running a poll to get a meeting time, when we all have Calendars populated with data already.

In case anyone feels up for a feature implementation challenge in GNOME Calendar: it would be cool to at least have a read-only implementation of meeting attendees, as a stepping stone to full-fledged meeting invitations management someday. See this limited-scope actionable ticket for details: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1354

Alright, you FLOSS business folks with countless appointments and meeting invitations each month, hear me out: what if in @EvolutionGnome we could have an integrated visual preview of the surrounding schedule context of an event you are being invited to? 🤔

Here's my ponies-on-rainbows suggestion for it (other #GNOME email clients are welcome to steal my idea): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/2950
