German Government Commissions KDE Groupware System

Posted by timothy on from the paid-to-scratch-itches dept.

tankengine writes "The German government has ordered a full-blown open-source groupware solution for KDE, to be delivered by the end of this year. It will consist of a server made of standard OSS components (Apache, Postfix, LDAP, etc) called Kolab, and a KDE client. The contractors are aiming for functional equivalence to MS Exchange and Outlook 2000."

    At long last. KDE will have all the security issues of Exchange and Outlook. We'll see which OS has the most viruses now!!
