Quality Open Source Calendaring / Scheduling?

Posted by kdawson on from the date-for-a-date dept.

Jim R. Wilson writes "In past jobs, I've used Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, Novell Groupwise, and Google Calendar for handling business appointments. I'm sorry to say it, but I have yet to see a rival to Microsoft's scheduling features. On Slashdot I have occasionally read rumblings that there are better open source email and calendaring solutions out there. Can anyone substantiate this claim? What are the OSS alternatives? Can any compete with Microsoft's resource scheduling?"

    It's a calender. You can buy them at the department store, complete with beach bunnies or half naked firefighters, depending on how you swing.

    Lets not pretend that there's anything particularly special about anything MS has done with calenders that you couldn't do yourself, ok? It's a fucking calender.

    Personally, I like the ones with the half naked girls much better than anything made software, be it commercial or open source.
