Hello!
If you are Windows user there really not so many alternatives. I used
calendar extension for Thuderbird from the first versions, now I use
Sunbird. But the worst thing, at least for me, is that it consumes huge
amount of memory. Now, when the process is sleeping Sunbird takes 45 MB
of memory. Thunderbird, for instance, takes 34 MB, Firefox 26 MB. It
makes me sick to wait 5-15 sec while new event window comes up. Bonus
for Thunderbird + Lightning is that is the most often mentioned
calendaring application in ooo conference developers presentations, so
that might be right choice for the future.

To add to what has been said;
There are at least three open source calendar applications that I know
of if you use Windows.
Mozilla makes Sunbird and Lightning. The former is a standalone
calendar program and the latter is an add-on for Mozilla Thunderbird,
meaning that after you download and install it, you call it up from
inside Thunderbird, just as you call up calendar functions from inside
Outlook. The advantage of having Lightning inside Thunderbird is that
it has slightly better functionality for interactions with other
calendars over a network or the Internet. Sunbird has more calendar
options (at least in what I have).
Go to
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/
For more information
There is another open source project called Chandler at:
http://chandler.osafoundation.org/
At the moment it has a slicker user interface than either Sunbird or
Lightning
The good thing about all of the above calendar programs is that they
are free. The bad thing is that although they are stable, none of them
are fully developed yet, although Sunbird does everything that I've
asked of it so far...!
