Is there something like ownCloud that uses Python/PostgreSQL? I don't really want to pollute my server with MySQL/PHP.

Have not had time to get it running on a VPS (the main reason I bought it), but it is worth a shot. Not veteran, but looks very cool. http://radicale.org/ http://radicale.org/

  I use radicale on my VPS together with CalDAV-Sync on Android and Thunderbird/Lightning on my desktop. Works really well. Lightweight and simple. This syncs my calendar. I intend to do contacts the same way with CardDAV-Sync when I get round to it.

You could try Apple's own Calendar Server, http://trac.calendarserver.org/ http://trac.calendarserver.org/, it's written in python and is open source.

This type of mentality is poisonous. You're not "polluting" your server. It doesn't add anything to the discussion; all it does is troll and set up flame-wars. There are other good reasons to want something written in your own pet language (e.g. "I want to modify it". "I don't want to learn how to admin MySQL", even), but just claiming "pollution" isn't a good one IMO.

  Why the wording wasn't great, it is a valid concern. If you already have a server running Postgres, then maintaining a separate MySQL install really is a pain, especially when it comes to being up to date on security.

    Which is fine. It's the idea that software can "pollute" is absurd. Give reasons and arguments, not slander. Already having a python/postgres stack is a valid reason to want a piece of software that runs on it. Just saying php/mysql "pollute" is a terrible mindset. It's like saying "I won't pollute my mind with German" instead of "I have no use for German in my everyday life". One is very trollish, the other is a valid point.

      I think "pollute" conveys the idea much better than the German example. Yes, it can create an emotional conflict, as you've demonstrated. However, I would say that adding PHP and MySQL to a public server just increased the attack surface as well as operations management overhead. In my eyes, that is an increase in risk/cost/etc. for that server. That justifies "pollute", "infect", "degrade", etc.

OwnCloud by default uses sqlite which is really good enough for the small amount of data that you're storing in there.
