Cal.com moved its production code private, leaving Cal.diy as a thinner community edition for personal use only. The shift removes enterprise features and raises maintenance questions for self-hosters. Easy!Appointments emerges as the strongest fully open alternative, while Nextcloud Calendar suits existing Nextcloud deployments. #opensource #selfhosted #calendaring

Cal.com Goes Private. What Are the Best Open Source Alternatives?

Cal.com moved its production code behind closed doors and left Cal.diy as a thinner MIT edition, turning the old open-source Calendly answer into a deployment decision. Easy!Appointments now looks like the safest general self-hosted bet, while Nextcloud Calendar fits existing Nextcloud shops. The harder part is security: open code still helps, but only when someone owns the server, updates, logs, rate limits, backups, patch windows, and risk.

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!

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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I went outside while ago with Buster. I knew it was shortly after noon, but just by a couple minutes. I also know my house is pretty close to square with the compass points, so to speak. I further know what other things influence how your clock might be set & what your perception of local time…

How to sync iPhone calendar with gnome-calendar

If you are a Linux user and you own iPhone, you might know, how hard it can be to integrate Apple’s proprietary services with open-source ones. Luckily there is an easy way how to synchronize the iCloud calendar with gnome-calendar because Apple is using the CalDAV standard. You could use NextCloud to host your CalDAV server, but for the sake of simplicity, we will use iCloud calendar. The system I am running is Fedora 37 Beta with Gnome 43 and iPhone 8 with iOS 15.

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

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.
