Hi all,

Even though this doesn't affect me at all, I found it a bit sad that it 
was lying around with no bug report anywhere.
So I filed one and proposed a fix for the issue. Thank you for the 
hint, Michał!

You can follow the progress here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app/+bug/1522569
And here: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~nikwen/ubuntu-calendar-app/fix-standalone-month-name-i18n/+merge/279509

Next time when you have an issue with an app, file a bug report for it. 
Instead of posting it to this list, go ahead and post it where the 
developers are going to listen: on the bug tracker on Launchpad. I 
guess that none of the calendar app developers even saw this message or 
they would probably have replied.

Cheers,
Niklas
