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."

    You've got to be kidding me. It can't even handle being a web browser without periodically locking up.

    What about them? Should slashdot provide a full update on every competing/remotely similar system?

    They that quote Benjamin Franklin on liberty and safety deserve neither.

    Well, I am German and I appreciate this very much. Maybe this way we get even for all the money that Germay has to hand over to the states every time they decide to invade Iraq. No to mention the fact that I already have to pay higher gas prices because of the advance of the next superfluous war in the Middle East.
