Osmo is a handy personal organizer, which includes calendar, tasks manager,
address book and notes modules. It was designed to be a small, easy to use and
good looking PIM tool to help to manage personal information. In its current
state the organizer is quite convenient to use - for example, the user can
perform nearly all operations using the keyboard. Also, a lot of parameters
are configurable to meet the user's preferences. On the technical side, Osmo
is GTK+ based tool which uses a plain XML database to store all personal data.

Currently, Osmo has the following features:

    * General:
          o compact interface

          o auxiliary calendars for next and previous month

          o integration with Tasks and Contacts modules
    * Tasks:
          o advanced reminder
          o alarm actions per task (commands, sounds, etc.)
          o tasks list printing
          o category filter
