Google Software Biography
Source(google.com)I’m using SOGo. Though, that’s partially because it was the most comprehensive solution that I had working at the time when my wife went back to work after maternity leave and we needed sharable calendars again to coordinate scheduling for childcare. But SOGo also has some nice, more advanced features, like the ability to subscribe to remote CalDAV feeds on other servers through the web UI.
I’m pretty happy with SOGo, though I’ll certainly be revisiting ownCloud and Radicale at some point. When I first tried ownCloud, it was immature, but it’s since grown a lot. And when I first tried Radicale, it was using a “strange” ACL model, but that’s been overhauled in 0.8. DAViCal was working, though it wasn’t a pleasure to configure, and I’m sure there are a few other workable servers I passed over.
Desktop Client: Lightning
Since I’m a Thunderbird user, Lightning is the obvious choice for a desktop client. We also use Thunderbird at the office and in my family. Lightning also supports Google Calendar, so just like with degooglifying email, you can switch your frontend and backend in separate steps.
The Evolution calendar is pretty awkward. I tried it when I was using SyncML, but it didn’t last long. There are other options too.
Web Client: SOGo, ownCloud or CalDavZap
I’d prefer a server with a web client, like SOGo or ownCloud, but for a standalone CalDAV web client (e.g. to pair with Radicale or DAViCal), CalDavZap [demo] seems pretty cool.
Mobile Client: SyncEvolution or aCal
Maemo: The reason I spent so much time on SyncML was that there was no CalDAV client for Maemo, but now SyncEvolution supports CalDAV/CardDAV sync!
Android: aCal is an Android CalDAV client, and a replacement for the proprietary Google calendar application. It works really well, but the UI feels really awkward and non-native. [Update: There's also CalDAV-Sync, which I'd skipped over because it's proprietary, but maiki pointed out that the developer at least intends to open source it eventually. I'm not sure if the Android Calendar is free software or one of the proprietary "Google experience" apps?]
Both sync to local storage for offline support.
Conclusion
It took me a long time to figure this out, especially since I was focused on SyncML at first, but I’ve finally fully replaced Google Calendar with CalDAV solutions. SOGo, ownCloud and Radicale are all great CalDAV servers. SOGo and ownCloud have built-in web clients, but there’s also CalDavZap as a standalone web client. Lightning is the obvious cross-platform desktop CalDAV client of choice, and SyncEvolution and aCal provide mobile clients for Maemo and Android.
The good news is there are plenty of options. As a bonus, most of these come with CardDAV support (which will be the focus of a future post), and ownCloud handles photos, music, and other files as well, so you may get more than just a calendar. Or, if it’s just a calendar you want, light-weight solutions like Radicale and CalDavZap give you just that.
I’m just thrilled to have finally figured this out.
