Blueprint changed by Guy Van Sanden: Whiteboard changed to:
2006-12+21 khaeru: might this be handled by the ubuntu-server-tasks spec? é 21/12/2006 - I think we should pick an existing suite, i.e. hula and then create the ubiquitous middleware to achieve what we want 13/07/2007 (stephan-impilinux) - We have recently evaluated a load of these solutions and have some professional experience in it. 2008-06-07 (pixelpapst) - Just a quick reminder that the hula project ist effectively dead since late 2006, and the community created a fork called "bongo project". However, by now they ripped out all of Hula's LDAP connectivity, which makes this a very pretty but useless solution for SmallBusinessServer. 2008-06-08 (Guy Van Sanden) Citadel seems a very good choice. IT offers many features (including a Jabber server) and is completely GPL'ed. The only caveat is that it does not have LDAP support (yet) 2008-06-19 (Art Cancro) -- yes, definitely go with Citadel. Ubuntu packages are already being maintained, and the project would be delighted to cooperate with the Ubuntu team on integration issues. 2008-06-19 (Todd Hanna) I would also like to give a big +1 to Citadel. They already have the .debs and there is even a connector to use it as an "Exchange" replacement if you have clients using Outlook. I have run it without issue on Ubuntu server since version 6.06. It's head and shoulders above the rest at the moment.. and it is easy to setup, update, and maintain. 2008-07-08 (Stuart Cianos) - I'll also give major points to Citadel, and have been a longtime user of it. It is the only open-source groupware package that is self maintaining and straightforward to configure. 2008-07-09 (Stephan Buys) - Please also dont forget Kolab (Citadel implements the Kolab v1 format). Kolab has 3 plugins for Outlook, support Horde Webmail, Thunderbird/Lightning and Kontact. 2008-07-09 (Guy Van Sanden) RE Kolab - Kolab is not a full groupware AFAIK, it does not have a web interface. Correct me if I'm wrong. 2008-07-09 (Christian Merlin) Remember also SOGo (http://sogo.opengroupware.org/) it use LDAP for users and PostgreSQL for database. So It could be easy to integrate with Ebox (http://ebox- platform.com/). So Ubuntu can became an'easy and powerfull groupware server like the commercial one. 2008-07-10 (Stephan Buys) Kolab does have a web interface (for admin and email) through Horde (www.horde.org). Calendars, Contacts and Tasks can be shared between Outlook/Kontact/Horde/Thunderbird 2008-07-10 - Personally I prefer bongo, however it is still in its infancy. It has a great UI, and is targeted at being simple to install and use 2008-11-14 - (Guy Van Sanden) Zarafa is becoming an option too. It was AGPL'd recently and offers many features including CalDAV in the upcoming 6.30 release. -- Groupware Server https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/groupware-server -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
