[gentoo-user] OT Calenders

2008-07-23 Thread James
Hello,

I currently use Korganizer.  I was wondering if there is a way to
enhance the calender with know public holidays. For example,
say I wan to get the Holidays for the USA, Canada and Jamaica
onto my KOrganizer?

If not does any other calender/organizer system have prebuilt addons
for things such as holidays?

M$ Outlook has a file although I called Outlook.hol located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\1033 with dates for holidays.
  The format is a little odd but you should be able to do something with
it.  Also, I'm pretty sure they have a new one on the net as Outlook
2003 just ran out of holidays as of 2008 so they added to the file to
extend (and keep people using outlook).

KOrganizer supports standard ICal-Files.  Googleing for 
usa holidays ical gets me to 

http://www.icalworld.com/holidays.html

There are files for Canada and the USA.  I didn't verify their completeness, 
since I'm not living in any of the mentioned countries, and don't know 
about any US holiday save Independence Day and Halloween ;)

I don't use Korganizer, but if it can load iCalenders then you can point
it to one of the many Internet-accessible iCalenders on the net, which
include stuff like Holidays, weather forcasts and, GNOME release
schedules ;-)

If it doesn't support that then I would think (hope) it would at least
support importing an Ical file, so you can download and import it
yourself.

If not then I might recommend Evolution for it's calendering
capabilities.
