Thanx all for suggestions.
For now I'm going with Radicale http://radicale.org/. In the *nix spirit:
lightweight and focused on the job at hand (and not evil). Haven't tested on
the iPhone yet. Keeping fingers crossed on the SAF!
Cheers.

Since you are running iOS and sounds like your "Big Computers" are apple

Consequently, we migrated most employee calendars over to the Big G because
it works on just about everything and is fairly streamline. We don’t care
who is watching. While we have a google business account, we are only using
the calendar feature.

Subject: Re: Seeking Alternative to Google Calendar
Joe,
I've run an instance of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (the Community
Edition) for about five years now. It'd certainly be too much gun for
a calendar-only job, but provides the caliber of webmail I need to
tempt the family away from El Goog. My wife and I both have iOS
devices accessing multiple shared calendars via CalDAV, and the only
deficiency in the Calendar.app integration is that it lacks the
ability to invite. This isn't a big deal for us in that we both
primarily use the iOS calendars in (ahem) "read-only mode", doing the
vast bulk of our event creation in the web client (on Big Computers).
The SAF* is quite high. ;-)

Subject: Seeking Alternative to Google Calendar
Vagrants,
I'm looking for an alternative to goog calendar for me and the dear
wife. This will be accessed by her iPhone5 and my linux based N9-00
http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/n9/ (which is a very cool
phone running Meego).
I've run a caldav server before and they seem to be reliable beasts
that don't need much feeding. The N9 has a caldav calendar interface
as does the iPhone I think. I've heard of some difficulty with iOS
devices interacting with CalDAV servers, but I think they can
interoperate.
I'd rather not have the big G gathering even more data on me. Google
calendar is easy, free, web based. These are all good and I may go
google. I don't think I'd respect myself in the morning though.
Your opinions welcomed.
