Dear Albrecht,


Another question is: Have these projects all to be based on z-push? What if 
hordes ActiveSync interface also could be used as starting point?

Actually, Horde's ActiveSync module is based on Z-Push:

"The code that handles the protocol level is essentially the same, though it has 
been heavily refactored and cleaned."

Ref.:  http://wiki.horde.org/ActiveSync#toc24

Best,
Corrado





As a note Kolab 3 switched from z-push to syncroton.

http://www.syncroton.org/wiki/Main_Page

My perception is they have invested a lot of energy into that product 
and it is licensed LGPL.

[SOGo] Samba 4 and Sogo

[Geoff Nordli]

Hi Everyone.

When deploying Sogo, is the only path to use the Samba4 packages from 
the inverse repository?


I am also interested in using the openchange part of it so we can 
connect Outlook clients.


How often are the inverse packages synced with upstream Samba?

thanks,

Geoff

Re: [SOGo] Dear progammers and architects

[Geoff Nordli]

From someone that just started looking at Sogo.

It seems you have solved the major road block with mail servers and that 
is native integration of Outlook.


I am wondering why the product doesn't get more open source exposure.  
There are only 1039 users on the mail list and looks like ~30 emails per 
month.  I would expect a lot more activity.


Have a great day!

Geoff

You're very intuitive and insightful.

I'm always open to "constuctive criticism".  However, saying it's fine 
the way it is in certain instances is ludicrous.  Just like the code 
will mature and refine over time, the documentation must do the same.


Without that understanding and impetus, the product will fail. It's 
just a matter of time.  I've watched the downfall of giants in this 
industry, including DEC, due to their inability to understand simple, 
constructive critiques meant to improve their products and market.  
They failed to embrace "UNIX", an operating system based on computing 
theory and automata.  VMS is near-dead except for some hold outs.  
However, their fall was dramatic they went from owning the "mini" 
computer segment to death in just 3 years.


Personally, until there is effort on the part of the project 
programmers, support and architects to improve their penetration (aka 
better documentation), it will fail over time.


Simple things like polling a strong, helpful community of believers, 
like myself, could change this.  Sending e-mails and correlating the 
information and presenting it to people so they know, up front, 
implementing SOGo is the 'right way to go', will change the tide.


People need to stop sitting and critiquing and take action. Probably 
the first stage is to brainstorm on "how do we improve the existing 
documentation" and putting together a project plan for that.  After 
that, it's "how do we improve our documentation as a whole so people 
embrace our product" and a project plan for that.


I believe I've given the foundation for the former.  Ask the 
community.  Poll what works for OS, DB, browsers, LDAP versions, etc, 
etc.  I believe I've been "helpful" and I'm not just 'naysaying'


Peace to all!

That's fine.

Because two folks told you they like the doc how it is while you
said yourself two times it was horrid and you're ready to drop the
ball? I appreciate the comments you provided, but if you voice
your opinion, be ready to accept what others tell you.

Re: [SOGo] running sogo in production

[Geoff Nordli]

Thanks Martin.

Any clues on why Sogo doesn't get more attention/love from the open 
source community?

SOGo is not a mailserver. If you will, It sets up on top of a given
mailserver setup.
Some of hour users have so big boxes like yours, so the max depends of
your Mailservers capabitlities.


Mobile support is important and the mobile users are on iPhone 4 or
greater.

iPhone runs direct (CalDAV) with no problems, but we are not using
CardDAV for sharing contacts.

Clients are running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.

Window 7 - no prob. Outlook - hm, only with the openchange setup.


I was thinking Ubuntu 12.04 for the server, but I could use debian as
well.

Use Ubuntu - in production it is better using a product which will be
supported for a longer time. 12.04 will get support til 2017.


Any concerns about putting this into production?

Having no problem running it productive togehther with postfix, dovecot
and mysql.

Greetings,
Martin

We are authenticate against AD, too.
No problems, too.



We are OK there since I can't see us going above 20 users.

Are you using the Native Outlook / OpenChange implementation? Is it 
pretty stable and are users happy with the current limitations?
