I've just bought myself a new phone to replace my ageing Nokia N900 and now want to migrate the 6 calendars I have on that to the new phone. But while I'm doing that, I thought I ought to find a way to sync them with a desktop calendar, or some other calendar and that's the purpose of this mail.

Or should I think of something else, which doesn't necessarily have to run on a Pi?
My first thought was to use Google Calendars. You can have multiple calendars and access them from android devices, web browsers, or plugins for Thunderbird, and probably many other calendar apps. I suppose it depends if you want your calenders on-line or not, or trust Google to know & look-after your stuff. Personally I do and let it do my calendars and contacts.
Before starting with Google I wondered if I could use some sort of ical server, but I never really got anywere. Google allows multiple calendars. If you have an android phone you can probably access multiple calendars on it (or at least you can on mine).
Simple to use and set up. Don't have to dial in to home to access it all.
