Or is there a tool which generates "repeating events" from the birthday
information?
None that I know of.
If you find one, please post it here.
You might look into making something something suitable for you yourself using
the relevant toolkits for perl/python/php/ruby. A quick websearch turned up
http://vpim.rubyforge.org/vcf-to-ics.txt
for example. I would not be surprised if something exactly right already is
available.
I found a python script which converts vCard into iCal events.
Unfortunately, neither SOGo nor Thunderbird supports vCard (export).
So I reworked the script to "ldif2ics4bdays". Now it converts LDIF data
to iCal. It also provides some new options (see description in the script).
The script :
- parse an LDIF file, e.g. from Thunderbird address book
- finds contacts with birthday information
- creates events for these contacts in iCalendar format
The resulting ics file can be imported into calendar applications, e.g.
Thunderbird/Lightning or SOGo ...
The script can be downloaded at:

A few notes:
The LDIF export from SOGo is buggy. It does not export any birthday
information. Use the Thunderbird address book export functionality instead.
Important: Use a new calendar for testing the import !
I am not a programmer!
Ergo, I have not tested a lot e.g. localization ...
