How to Sync Google Calendar with Outlook and Smartphones Automatically
by cascamorto & 10 othersI use Outlook for my personal information management because it's still the only thing that puts all my data in one place the way I want it. Google Calendar's iCal export made manual syncing with Outlook possible, but I want to get all my calendar data from my computer to my phone automatically. RemoteCalendars solves this problem, making ongoing data sync simple after a convoluted setup process.

Weeks can start on days other than Sunday.

Plans can store data in flat files or an SQL database.
Sharp-looking
Plans is the nicest-looking web calendar.
Plans has several downloadable themes available.
CSS-based layout makes it easy to match the colors & fonts with your website.
Open Source
Plans is licensed under the GPL. You can freely modify the code for your needs. Many organizations have done so.
Extendable
Plans' architecture allows add-ons and standalone programs to re-use its framework.
Plans can export events to other platforms, including MS Outlook and Palm.
Template-based design
Plans uses HTML templates to allow easy customization of the look & feel.
Each calendar can have its own custom template, even located on a different server.
Project Based Calendaring System
by cascamortoProject-Based Calendaring System (in short PBCS)
is an open source web-based calendaring system, designed to be an useful aid for people who manage schedules for one or more persons. The main feature of PBCS, which distinguishes it from all other calendar applications, is that schedule planners can plan schedules for other people easily using day or week overviews showing multiple people at once. There are the regular single-user overviews for those who look mainly at their own calendar. For people on the road it is now possible to sync your appointments into a Palm PDA.
