  Description     : calendar application for GNOME 3

California is a calendar built for GNOME 3. It allows you to
view and manage your online calendars with a simple and modern
interface. It uses EDS (Evolution Data Server) as the back-end
for managing your calendars. If you've already added calendars
to EDS via another application (such as Evolution), you should
be able to see those calendars in California as well.

I have packaging ready at [0] and intend to upload it, if it
turns out to be useful on small screens as found in smartphones.

TTBOMK, this software is more or less dead upstream (most likely a
result of yorba being discontinued).
Given that we have gnome-calendar, is there a compelling reason to have
this package in the archive?
I guess you need to be prepared to be more or less upstream for it.

gnome-calendar also looks smartphone compatible, but lacks an agenda
view. I will try out both on my N900 and decide based on the results.
I'm not in a hurry.

Yes, not much development going on upstream, but it seems to be a
nice replacement application for Maemo's calendar software and I'm
used to more or less dead upstream.

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of california from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug
hasn't seen any activity during the last year.

If you are still interested in adopting california, please send a mail
to <control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 842298 ITP: california -- calendar application for GNOME 3
 owner 842298 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <8422986@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
Jeremy Bicha for the QA team <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>
