When I have a date field for birthdays, and show it on a calendar, only the "real" birthday, the first, is shown.
How do I make the calendar view show it every year?

You can use a cron task that run every year with some code like this:
for employee in employees :
date.month=birthday.month
date.day=birthday.day
duration=1 day
create meeting(date,duration)
translate this in correct python
I know how I could add meetings to a given calender, but I'm asking for the calendar _view_ of OpenERP. In order to have it shown there, I would have to add a new data record for every year to my live data, as far as I can see. And it would then appear on tree and form views, too?
Sorry, I don't feel this answers my question.
With a cron like this, every year an action will create a meeting to all your employees birthday. Their meetings will appear on tree and form view too. Do you have a calendar view with your employees model? In this case I thing you can not do that because calendar view show one "event" per data, you can not have "multi-event" per data like you want. Maybe you can create an Birthday model object with a special calendar view for this.
Ok, I added a new model for this and added dates covering the estimated lifespan * 1.5 :), so it is a workaround for now. I'll see if I can prepare a blueprint or more for reoccurrence on the "real" calendar view.
