Now Up-To-Date company closing
Now Up-To-Date, an obscure calendar/contact management system for Mac and Windows, is heading into history with the recent announcement that publisher Now Software is closing its doors. I only wrote about it once here, way back in 2005. BusyMac has a way to migrate Now Up-To-Date users to the Mac-only BusyCal.

From July 2008:

March 8, 2010: The first draft proposal for iSchedule is published by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
Calendar standards folks, feel free to explain the significance of this in the comments to this post!

Amahi home network calendar sharing
FLOSS Weekly just posted a show about Amahi, a home network calendar sharing server. It requires a PC running Linux, and sounds like a summer project to someone like me, but it's encouraging to see some movement on the home network calendar-sharing front. Has anyone reading Calendar Swamp installed Amahi? If so, please post a comment here.
