Sunbird Home Page Sunbird is a stand-alone calendar application that can be installed on Windows, Mac OS X and linux.

In this tutorial I’ll explain how to install the 0.8 release of Sunbird on Ubuntu, although it may be possible to adapt for other linux distributions. The reasion you may want to install the 0.8 release, over the version in the Ubuntu repositories, is that some plug-ins require the latest version of Sunbird, in particular “Provider for Google Calendar”, which enables syncing with Google Calendar.
