Open source collaboration software for Linux

September 19th, 2009 by Bill Giannios

Over the last few days I have been looking into some form of OPEN SOURCE collaboration software for Linux. Of course there is Zimbra, Scalix etc but I was looking for something fully open source.My requirements were to find something that can be synced between Evolution, Outlook (I don’t use it but some others do), Windows Mobile, the iPhone and my Android phone with preferably some form of web interface as well. It didn’t matter if it was a few separate programs (IMAP and something else for instance) as long as it works correctly and was open source. The best I could find was using standard IMAP with Funambol, this allowed me to sync Outlook and Evolution but unfortunately the Funambol client for Android is not very good yet, I couldn’t get it working properly and it doesn’t support calendar syncing anyway.

So basically I am a little stuck and just waiting in the hope that the Funambol client for Android will get up to speed soon. I definately don’t want to go down the commercial route. Has anybody got any other suggestions I may have overlooked?
