Well said. I feel that too many people today have forgotten (or, more likely, never learned) these lessons from history. People give away their personal and supposedly private information too easily and, I feel certain, will come to regret it (some already have come to regret it).
While I agree with the above, it doesn't really address Johnny's question, which is which open source calendaring projects can compete with Google calendar for users' ease of use? If I give my users Zimbra, and they hate it, then what? For simple email use, there are plenty of clients which can talk IMAP/SMTP to a linux server, but the options for calendaring (and ''groupware'' in general) are much sparser.
It's a hard question, and each organization needs to weigh their privacy concerns against their users' requirements.

Just to chime in, I'm using Fruux.com for a client, and while it's not per se an open source service, it works really really well and uses open source protocols for its operation (CalDAV and CardDAV). They also have great central administration, even if it's all local accounts. They use SabreDAV as the foundation for the service, hence I think it's worth mentioning.
