Client/Server Calendar Program?

Posted by Cliff on from the anything-but-outlook dept.

Dethnyte asks: "At my office, we currently use Calendar Creator Pro, it's just not a very good or user-friendly program for multiple people entering data into a calendar. We don't want to use Outlook or anything that requires a server, or at least a server program we have to pay for. Is there anything Open Source that can help us out? We'd use Sunbird, but it still has too many bugs. We need something simple that can keep dates, multiple schedules, and still be readable when printed out."

    Lessee-

    Don't want a server, don't want to pay for it, do want to track dates and multiple schedules.

    Keeping multiple calendars that can be seen by others and can show busy/free times on a per-user/resource basis is inherintly a client/server relationship. If you don't want to use Exchange or one of the other closed-source solutions, why not have someone else maintain the server for you. Here's what I use:
