Synchronizing Google Calendar on Linux

I’ve first done it after reading an Linux.com article and at that time the sync was just one way street – from Google to KDE. As I needed two-way sync I didn’t use it much till today when I remembered to try out the things once more and after a little bit of setup I found it working on KDE’s KOrganizer and Thunderbird’s extension Lightning

The basic setup layout is presented on Terminally Incoherent blog and extended with links to file-based and HTTP-based installaton on GCALDaemon’s web page.

UPDATE (24.12.2008)

As Google’s tools are constantly evolving, now there is another option available. To sync Google Calendar with your Thunderbird/Icedove with Lightning extension you can now use CalDAV. The setup is very simple and it also works with Google Apps.
