Calendar application - preferably gtk2

Nylle

I'm looking for a calendar application, preferably gtk2 so it blends into gnome. But I'm open to any suggestions.

I wish I could use evolution, but it just can't compare to KMail feature wise (at least the features I use). So I'm stuck with KMail under gnome, and evolution is a bit too bloated to use for its calendar alone.

But I really need a calendar application, trying to juggle studies, work and other appointments has finally become to much work for my memory.

You might want to consider jpilot -- technically it's a Palm client, but it's got a calendar, task list, memo pad, and address book, and you're not required to sync it to anything if you don't want :) And it comes in GTK2 goodness.

Alternatively, keep your eye on the Sunbird project (I don't have a URL available) -- the Mozilla Calendar is getting the same streamlining as Browser and Mail (Firebird/Thunderbird). I don't think it's usable yet, though.

You could try gnome-pim.

I was confronted with the same problem, other that you

If you build mozilla with USE="mozcalendar" you'll get the mozilla calender client built in right with everything else.

I'm going to check out jpilot I think, because I keep looking at korganizer and wishing I could have a gnome app instead

I just installed the mozilla calender and while it looks promising, it seems even more heavy than evolution. I'll give it a try for a couple of days.

I just built firebird and thunderbird - thx Gentoo

and I really like them. So if Sunbird is of same caliber that would be the calendar app to go. Cannot wait for a first preview...

I've been playing with Sunbird a little bit (the Windows build) and I like it. It's definitely an improvement from the MozCal extension. Nice integration of the standard PIM calendar and task list, easy to get all your appointments and whatnot without having to flip through different screens or windows. Real slow, though, but that's to be expected this early in development. I'll wait and play with it more when there's a Linux build, but for right now I'm impressed at the improvement over the MozCal extension from the last time I used that.

I don't use the Moz Suite, so I couldn't say how or if it differs from that. I'm guessing that they're fairly similar at the moment, except for Sunbird being standalone.

EDIT: They do have a GTK2 version right ?

Are there any that can work with Outlook's Calendar? I have XP on my laptop with Outlook as my email client / organizer. I looked into exporting, but the only options available are CSV, MS Access, MS Excel, and Tab Separated. It doesn't seem like this would work with Evolution. I'd like to be able to export them on the laptop and share them with my desktop running Gentoo so I can keep my calendar up to date in both places.

I just came across a tool called Outport that can export the calendar data from my Outlook. I tried importing it in Evolution - and it worked

. Now all I have to do is improve - or even better automate - the synching of data between my two computers.
