GPE: Calendar

Coordinator

The coordinator for this sub-project is Philip Blundell (philb@gnu.org) . If you want to contribute to this project, please contact him directly.

Function

This is very obvious. The calendar stores and manages scheduled events. Special functionality included is support for

• Entries without due-time, just a note for a particular day.
• Recurring events with options for daily, workdays, weekends, monthly, yearly (birthdays or other anniversaries)
• Different view modes to give the user a good overview.
• Mimedir (vCal, iCal) data import.

Future enhancements will include event export and beaming entries via IrDA/Bluetooth OBEX in vCalendar format.

Status

The application is stable and functional for daily use. It makes use of a set of libraries and external tools such as atd and gpe-announce. The user interface is scalable and supports screens from small PDA portrait displays up to common PC screen sizes. Apart from GPE the user interface has basic support for the Hildon UI used for the Nokia 770.

The source code can be found in CVS, module gpe-calendar. Precompiled binaries for iPAQ are available in the Familiar unstable feed.
