Ubuntu – Google-Calendar offline

google-calendar

How can I have my google-calendars availabe offline on my PC as well?

I have been using dropbox to sync my calendars in ics-format between different PC's instead of using google calendar. The disadvantage of google-calendar is, that I can only see my appointments when online.

Now I want to sync my calendars with my android device as well, what does not seem to be possible yet.

So I am planning to have an online copy of all my appointments on Google-Calendar, in order to sync them with my Android device. At the same time I want to be able to access my appointments offline (have an offline copy of each calendar on my PC's synced via Dropbox).

Is there a way to automatically duplicate and sync Coogle-Calendars with Ubuntu to achieve this?

Google Calendar (and Contacts) can be synced with Gnome Evolution, which comes with Ubuntu. Evolution can be used off-line. The Google Calendar page How to sync google calendar with evolution in ubuntu 9.04 is a good starting point.
