Honestly, Google calendar works well enough that I'm not sure that I
like the idea of re-inventing the wheel. Maybe if somebody designed
some kind of open calendar access protocol that was comparable.
If you don't like Google tracking all that you do, create a gmail
account and don't use it for ANYTHING but Google Calendar. That will
greatly limit the amount of database correlation they can do.
If somebody has a suggestion for a reasonable multi-user calendaring
infrastructure that has reasonably close feature parity and isn't a bear
to maintain I'm sure it would be considered.
