Currently I am looking at purchasing a Palm Treo device but I really don't want to get sucked into a data-plan. :-/ I tried to sync several cell phones with evolution calendar via blue tooth (to avoid expensive GSM/GPRS data transfers or expensive data cables). With the usual mass market phones from Nokia or Sony Ericcsson it was a mess and didn't work reliably or even not at all. At the end I tried a Palm treo 680 (Palm operating system) and it worked without any problems with F9 (F7 is a bit tricky configuration). Same is true for KDE calendar. And I rate the Palm calendar as superior compared to those of Win CE or Symbian based ones. I have a Nokia E71 which synchronises OK using Funambol, I connect using WiFi so no cost there. -- Chris Green -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: Calendar choice: looking for advice
https://www.nuevasync.com point it at your google calendar account (and contacts if you want), and then point your PDA (or iphone) at it, like an exchange server. Add something on your PDA, instantly sync'd over the air to google, and the other way around too. use something like Gcal daemon/calgoo/etc to sync desktop programs, and your good to go. basically google ends up being your web-frontend/data store, and everything syncs with it. works for me On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Marcelo M.

I've got two going on, actually. I'm using goosync (www.goosync.com) to keep my Treo 680 (should work with any Palm...and they have versions of their client for other PDAs, as well, I believe) calendar sync'd up with Google Calendar. I'm also running Citadel (http://www.citadel.org), at home, with the Funambol connector that's being maintained to direct connect to Citadel (http://bionicmessage.net/index.php?q=node/11). Citadel also supports webdav/groupdav/caldav, so Thunderbird w/Lightning works well with it. Other folks I've chatted with use korganizer, kontact, and a host of other clients. This looks really good, but those are over-the-air sync and targeted at phones/smartphones with a data plan. I would still be interested in the following: 1. online calendar (bonus if i can install it as an app on my own webserver) 2. desktop application calendar (synced with the online calendar) 3. pda calendar - sync via cradle/dock (no data plan needed) Cheaper the better, but I will pay if I know the solution is solid. I have a Horde calendar online on a private server (I don't want to put more private things in Google Calendar). I have my Sharp Zaurus which for me only sync's reliably in Outlook in Windows. My basic flip-phone has no features. Everything is a complete mess for me right now. Currently I am looking at purchasing a Palm Treo device but I really don't want to get sucked into a data-plan. :-/ How about a 'phone with WiFi? I have just bought a Nokia E71 which connects to my home LAN by wireless, fast and zero cost (for the data). I have it synchronising using Funambol which offers connectors for just about *anything*. -- Chris Green -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Calendar choice: looking for advice
I've been looking at two calendar programs, for keeping a record of appointments, etc. These are Google Calendar, which seems to me to be well-designed, and the default choice which any rival must improve upon in some way. The rival I have been looking at is the setup described in Building a Simple Calendar Server with Fedora and WebDAV at http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/ Building_a_Simple_Calendar_Server_with_Fedora_and_WebDAV.

What do you use for email? Sounds like you use KDE, but... I use Thunderbird and the lightning plugin. The integration is much better than before and is quite good. The appointments, or invites sent by my mac friends can easily be subscribed to. It works for me. I use the latest plugin found below and it is stable for me. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/linux-xpi/lightning.xpi -- Brian Millett - [ Deeron, Points of Departure] The war has already begun, Captain.
