Me thinks this is over-configuration.

What about this patch? Default would be, to display the owner, but the user can hide the information on demand by preferences.

Adding the user names to shared calendars is the only way to distinguish different calendars with the same name, so this won't be changed. We could display the user's real name instead of his user name though, this would probably make those names shorter too. What about adding a tooltip with the username? Or maybe it could be configurable via conf.php/pref?

Our users were complaining about an confusing and overloaded sidebar in kronolith, because in shared calendars section the mailaddress (in our setup the username) of the owner is added to the calendars name. My solution is to add a shorter name to the inline javascript, which is displayed in the sidebar. However the information about the owner is not lost; it will still be available, when viewing calendars' details. Is this a proper fix for you to take over in upstream, so I won't need to patch every version?
