Hi all, -first, excuse me for my english :D -
I look for some times activity around ubuntu server, and activity about mail/groupware in ubuntu. I'm a member of OBM core team, some people already know me. I try to maintain OBM package in contrib. I read some mail in this mailing list to include full mail server solution with postfix and dovecot. I would like proposed (without stop include of dovecot and postfix soltion of course) to work with members of ubuntu server team to include the full OBM solution. <ad> For people who don't OBM, OBM is groupware (like zimbra or MS ex..) and CRM which is build over postfix,cyrus,... Currently, the OBM package which is include in ubuntu is just the UI, you can use ajax calendar, contact managment and CRM. But OBM can offer more. You can manage your Mail domain, create user with their mail adress, mail alias, manage some sieve script. you can build big architecture with multiple postfix server and OBM manage automatically postfix map, you can build Cyrus-Murder architecture for big architecture. You can synchronize your PDA, synchronize multiple calendar with thunderbird,.... SO I'm not here for the ad!!! </ad> In my opinion (and just my opinion) include in Ubuntu a full groupware solution with sync and other is a good thing. We develope also new webmail "like gmail" with full ajax and full mail indexing: Minig. Currently, i have already package a complete OBM on an external repository for Debian etch (sorry don't strike me please :D). This package work's fine and it use on own customer. However packages are crapy package because of (first my no-experience in packaging) file configuration of many package which are currently destroy and replace, but it works :D. Work with ubuntu server team can improve package perhaps like improve init script to manage multiple configuration (like dovecot integration ;) ). This include in Ubuntu can make step by step. My first step is to use default cn=config to openldap which is a good thing for packaging, but i think the next step must be define with ubuntu server team. This is a list of main software use by full OBM: - apache - php5 for UI and calendar - mysql or postgres (postgres by default on next major release) - openldap - cyrus - postfix - tomcat for obm-sync server for PDA synchronization - gwt and eclipse plug-in for new webmail (under development) http://www.obm.org : you can find some information about obm (and debian architecture packaging) on http://www.minig.org : new opensource webmail. thank you for your attention ;) -- Sylvain garcia [email protected] [email protected] -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
