As it happens, I tend to receive a certain amount of iCalendar invites via email. I'd like to sync the invites with my calendar server (CalDAV). My mail client is #Emacs + #Notmuch. I'm thinking of implementing a workflow where:

- I save the text/calendar part to a local folder
- The folder gets synced to the server via #vdirsyncer (which seems to be working pretty nicely indeed!)

If you'd like to migrate your #AddressBooks and #calendars from somebody else's platform to a self-hosted or self-managed one, but there's no "migration assistant":

Check whether both platforms support the #CalDAV and #CardDAV standards. If they do, look into #vdirsyncer https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org

We'd recommend to test-migrate your existing data to a local filesystem storage first, and swap in your new storage only when syncing to the test storage worked without errors.

To protect yourself against migration blunders, mark your source storage (platform) as read_only and let it "win" in your conflict_resolution setting.

For address book pairs, you can also sync the "displayname" and "description" metadata – for calendar pairs, additionally "color" and "order".

I was lucky enough to help another nifty open source utility. The developer has posted a little summary of what I found:

If you need something to sync your calendar or contacts give #vdirsyncer a go.

Just found carl, a modern version of cal (the unix calendar utility that prints a tabular view of months).

What stands out for me here is the ability to highlight events from calendar files.

This is superb in conjunction with vdirsyncer, which I’ve been using for a long time for exactly the purpose of having a local directory of .ics files for each of my Nextcloud DAV calendars.

@whynothugo congrats on the stable release of the #vdirsyncer rewrite!

In your blog post you mention that it's not feature complete when compared with the old version, do you have a list somewhere of what's missing so I could see if I'd be able to try out the new version?
