Google Calendar Indicator Ubuntu

Calendar Indicator is more than just a tool that displays Google Calendar events on the top Ubuntu panel. Besides displaying the next 10 Google Calendar events in the indicator, the application lets you add new events and it comes with a fully-featured calendar that lets you access all your events, edit existing events and so on.

  • fixed calendar events not showing up in the indicator menu under Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander;
