Event Calendars Associated with a User Should Display that User's Name in the Calendar

      With the release of Calendars 4.0 the notion of a generic People calendar has gone away. An Event calendar can be associated with a user, however that user information is not easily seen on the Event calendar without clicking into the Event.

      We use Calendars for our support on-call rotation. Prior to version 4 we had a People calendar called "On Call" which clearly indicated who was on call for a given week. We've totally lost that ability with Calendars 4. I can name an Event "On Call" and associate the user with that week of support duty, but you have to click twice (once on the event, then edit) to actually see the name of the person that's on call.

      This is a significant feature degradation from the 3.2.x version of Calendars.

      So, as a user I would like an Event calendar that's associated with a user to clearly display the user on the calendar so that I don't have to click twice to get this information.

      As an aside, I realize that there's "Leave" and "Birthday" calendars which are more analogous to the old People calendar, but since they are hard coded with those names it would be totally unintuitive to use them for any other purpose, such as an on call calendar.
