Hello,
As some of you might have seen, we're getting close to a new SOGo
release - v1.3.0. So far, it features the following enhancements :
* added support for the "tentative" status in the invitation responses
* inviting a group of contacts is now possible, where each contact
will be extracted when the group is resolved
* added support for modifying the role of the meeting participants
* attendees having an "RSVP" set to "FALSE" or empty will no longer
need/be able to respond to invitations
* added the ability to specify which calendar is taken into account
when retrieving a user's freebusy
* added the ability to publish resources to unauthenticated
(anonymous) users, via the "/SOGo/dav/public" url
* we now provide ICS and XML version of a user's personal calendars
when accessed from his own "Calendar" base collection
* events are now displayed with the coloured stripe representing
their category, if one is defined in the preferences
* the event location is now displayed in the calendar view when
defined properly
* added a caching mechanism for freebusy requests, in order to
accelerate the display
* added the ability to specify a time range when requesting a time
slot suggestion
* added a Ukrainian translation
* updated the Czeck translation
and we still have some work to complete prior to the release:

Also, for more than a year, we've been following closely the OpenChange
project (http://www.openchange.org). As you can read from the website,
it takes a different approach by providing an open source implementation
of the Microsoft Exchange Protocol. The OpenChange project made great
progress lately and it's now the right time to start looking at adding a
SOGo provider for it.
The SOGo provider would allow any Outlook clients to talk directly to
OpenChange (without any additional plugins, since it would think it
talks directly to an Exchange server) which would then use SOGo's
business logic to handle the rest. Outlook users would then be able to
fully collaborate with there SOGo, Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning, Apple
iCal and other peers.
We've started discussions with the OpenChange team to deliver a PoC as
soon as we can so stay tuned for progress on this.
As usual, your input is appreciated.
Regards,
