Robby, You just posted this question because I love to talk about it didn't you? From my research, I believe you can implement Open-xchange and use the Evolution connectors to do this. Haven't done it myself yet successfully though. It's my current side project. The only issue with Open-xchange right now is that you might not be able to write via webDAV (which is how calendars are written I believe). I know that Open-xchange will support this by the end of the year (unless their release date in the press release was incorrect) when they release their Outlook connector (the Evolution connector is free of course).
Another solution: I *might* be getting the free/busy information vs. shared calendar options twisted, but I believe you can post your calendar to a public server (i.e. ftp server) and save as your username, and then to access others' folders, you point to that server with the username variable appended at the end. If this only applies to free/busy information, sorry. Hope this helps, Kevin Williams -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robby Russell Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 2:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDXLUG] shared calendars in linux? We're using evolution at work and would like to share our calendars together. The best method that I have been able to produce it having our own evolutions have their calendars..and syncing the calendar file for evolution to a server and using phpicalendar to combine them all. Then I am able in evolution to view a web calendar (basically looks at a .ics file on a webserver) and I can display them all together in evolution. It's not the most elegant way to do this, but it works. Does anyone have any experience and suggestions to methods of handling shared calendars without any commercial products or needing to use a web-based interface? We're using evolution because we can sync to our palm pilots nicely and don't mind phpicalendar but would like to do it a bit more efficiently.
