New Google Calendar Help Forum: Coming Soon!

2009-01-05T23:17:21Z

Hi folks,

We've been working for awhile now to improve the Google Calendar Help
Forum, and I'm happy to report that we've created a new platform that
offers a number of features that you guys have requested. We've almost
finished the transition, and are looking forward to introducing the
new forum later this week. Once we've launched, this Google Group will

Undo for events, allow guests to modify your event, a CalDAV authentication fix, and more!

Hey folks,

It's been busy over here, as our team has been hard at work on some
new features and fixes for you guys. Big thanks to everyone who left
us feedback, told us the new things you wanted to see, and also let us
know what wasn't working in Calendar. Without further ado, here's
what's new:

Syncing your Google Calendar: Apple's iCal and Mozilla Sunbird via CalDAV

2008-11-25T22:14:18Z

Hey folks,

Today we're happy to announce that Google Calendar now supports
Apple's iCal and Mozilla Sunbird via the CalDAV protocol -- an
evolving, open standard for calendar synchronization.

To learn more about syncing with Apple's iCal and Mozilla Sunbird (and
about the other ways to sync your Google Calendar), check out our post

I'm happy to announce that we've made some improvements to Google

Hi folks!

You guys have been writing in, and we've been listening -- here are a
couple changes we've made recently based on your guys' input:

* For fans of Quick Add, you'll be happy to hear that you're now
able to paste multiple lines of text into the Quick Add box.
* Discussing events is now even easier. Use the "Email Guests"

We've fixed the issues that popped up last week with Google Calendar
Sync version 0.9.3.4, so we're going for the gusto and releasing

Nice to Meet You

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Charlie, and I'm taking over
for Becky as the new Google Calendar Guide. I've had the opportunity
to learn a lot from her, and am really excited to work with all of you
to improve Google Calendar.

Just a quick couple notes about me: I grew up outside San Francisco

Passing on the Google Calendar Guide baton…

2008-10-06T21:07:25Z

It’s with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement as the Google
Calendar Guide. Not to be overly cheesy, but the last 1.5 years
participating in the discussions here have been truly rewarding (dare
I say magical.) We’ve had ups and downs to be sure but overall I feel
that there’s really a community of Google Calendar enthusiasts devoted

Re: Google Calendar Sync 0.9.3.4 is here!

2008-10-02T18:27:38Z

Update: We’ve found some issues with 0.9.3.4 so we’ve temporarily
reverted back to the earlier version of Google Calendar Sync, 0.9.3.3.

Thanks for your patience while we look into these issues further.
We’ll let you know when 0.9.3.4 is available again.

Google Calendar Sync 0.9.3.4 is here!

2008-10-01T21:57:55Z

We’re happy to announce that we’ve released a new version of Google
Calendar Sync. We’ll be auto-updating people soon but if you don’t
want to wait, you can download the new version at

This version includes some important fixes for users who had reported

Change to notifications

2008-09-24T17:07:07Z

Heads-up for a recent change that many of you may be interested in:

There’ll be no more automatic 24-hour reminders for non-Google
Calendar guests. In the past, if you created an event with guests that
weren’t using Google Calendar, we would send an email reminder one day
before the event begins. Now, your guests will no longer receive a

Google Calendar Buddy cameo for next 2 weeks

2008-09-01T14:43:12Z

Hi everyone,

I’ll be on vacation for the next few weeks but am leaving you all in
excellent hands. Ella will be checking in on the group and posting
with the name Google Calendar Buddy.

Please look out for her and try to be on your best behavior (just
kidding). See you soon!

Customized reminders and easy way to export all calendars!

2008-08-28T15:57:50Z

Have you ever wanted to be reminded of a meeting exactly 7 minutes
before it begins? Or maybe 8 days before a friend’s birthday so you
can be reminded to send a card? May sound random to some folks but to
others these reminder times are ideal.

Event reminders can now be set for any time from 5 minutes to 4 weeks

Ch-ch-ch-chaaaanges!

Here’s the skinny on some recent changes:

1. The calendar list is split apart into “My Calendars” and “Other
Calendars” sections. We’ve always had this distinction between your
owned calendars and calendars you’re just viewing, but now the
separation is a bit more obvious.
