Using shared calendars with my wife is a very productive aspect of
todays digital tools.  As we coordinate more and more things in this
domain, I have learned to love the &lt;code&gt;STATUS&lt;/code&gt; property of iCalendar
entries.  It immediately tells me if a calendar entry is a reafl,
fixed and confirmed entry or if it is just a &lt;span class="underline"&gt;blocker&lt;/span&gt; so that other
planning can take into account that the dates are not yet finalized.
The usual calendar apps (NextCloud Calendar, Thunderbird, Fossify)
display this information in an intuitive manner, but I found out that
the Android app &lt;code&gt;fossify&lt;/code&gt; (fork from &lt;code&gt;simple-tools&lt;/code&gt;), does not allow
editing this property of an entry.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Whenever I need something in a Free Software project, but it is not
there, I eventually come to the conclusion that I could implement it
myself if I need it "bad enough".
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
So let's find out how Free Software empowers the users with this
example.
&lt;/p&gt;
