You could check out the following projects. They may, or may not, meet
all of your needs, but they should each come close in some way:
Chandler (http://www.osafoundation.org/) is still in development, but
may be the closest to what you need, and it pretty much works for basic
tasks now.
Mozilla Sunbird (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/) is sort of
working, and may have much of what you're looking for.
Aethera (http://www.thekompany.com/projects/aethera/) is a
released(1.2.0) GPL product, but it's sharing may be a bit limited
without a Kolab server (althought there may be some WebDAV support...).
Task Coach (http://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/) starts to get
there, but it's currently missing the reminders you wanted (but combined
with something like Sunbird, it might work well...)
KDE/Pi (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/) is an attempt to make
the KDE programs available cross platform, and might provide what you need.

One last, a Java application that looks very promising:
BORG (http://borg-calendar.sourceforge.net/) may be just what you're
asking for, try it and please let us all know if it fits.
