Thanks for that Niklas. FYI - I don't always have the time to find the 
right project on launchpad, and go through the process of filing a bug. 
Particularly when I'm out and about with my phone, this is tedious 
enough that it's just not going to happen. A number of people in the 
past have said sending reports to this mailing list is also fine - it 
would be good for someone to clarify whether this is the case or not.

As a community member I'm happy to help out with the project while I 
can, and when I have the time, I'm happy to file bug reports. Time 
currently is at a huge premium for me however - between work (2 
businesses, one of which is a busy theatre company), family commitments 
(2 kids under 10), and end of the year madness, it's rare I get to sit 
down at my computer and do ANYTHING with Ubuntu these days.

So what's more useful - posting to this list in the hopes someone (like 
Renato) will be able to help with an issue, and pass it up the chain, or 
posting nothing, and forgetting about the problem because I don't have 
time to file a bug report? Yep, get that the calendar is one of the 
easier projects to find, but often 'file a bug report' means lots of 
searching to find out where to actually file it. I've got about 20 
minutes now before I'm out the door again, and am probably going to be 
spending it troubleshooting my device so I can get the calendar working 
- sorry, but the bug report is a few more notches down the priority list.
