Yes, I did try it, although I may have to re-visit it to confirm my 
problems with it when compared to Google Calendar.

Here are some of the problems that I found:

* when importing .ics, (events + committee meetings), it does not import 
the colour picks for the categories and worse, when I choose the "edit 
category" pencil and then "rescan" it deleted all of my categories! 
EEEK!!! It would be nice if the "categories" feature were stable and 
offered category-colour pick so that our users can easily filter the 
view -- GoogleCal does this exceptionally well and it is intuitive. To 
me, this is a big problem with the OwnCloud calendar from a "user" 
usability point of view.

* I was having some re-draw problems when right-clicking on some 
functions. I am not sure if it was a problem with my box, I did try 
different browsers and had the same problems. Maybe this has disappeared 
if there has been an update in the Cloud software since my testing.

Otherwise, the other functions were OK, all the basics of calendaring 
are covered. IMO, the Google Calendar still offers more in the way of 
admin functionalities/filters for user ease of filter use, which to me 
are quite important.

Cheers,

Marc
