Good choice! I support you /fully/ on this decision. I'd very much like to run an independent "OpenCloud"-like setup (although, I don't need browser access). For now I'm using fluux, but I haven't managed to get org-CalDAV to sync yet. I'm also looking to sync bbdb via CardDAV, although I would be willing to switch to org-contacts if a solution emerged here before. Could Orgmode.org provide (and earn revenues from) a /standard-based/ (CardDAV/CalDAV) synchronization framework without bells and whistles and a reasonable price per year? Say €5-10 per year? (I have no idea how much upload/download goes to such a system). I would certainly pay if revenues after costs goes to Org-developers and the service uses open standards. On the other hand I don't know if it's ethically OK for a FSF project to provide such a service? Baïkal and Radicale are nice, small CalDAV servers. The latter also provides CardDAV. –Rasmus -- Enough with the bla bla!
