Q: Your screenshot of OGo with Evolution as a native client talks about "Connector". As far as I am aware, the Exchange Connector from Ximian is not-free not-open-source proprietary software. Is that incorrect?
A: No, this is correct. ZideStore implements required parts of the Exchange 2000 WebDAV API to allow access to the OGo database from Evolution (with the Ximian Connector). Unfortunatly the Connector is closed source (Why?).
We are certainly seeking for ways to connect Evolution without additional license costs. Any contributors ?;-)
PS: ZideStore currently only works with Ximian Connector 1.2, the new 1.4 version isn't supported yet (it will be in the next weeks when the initial OGo setup phase is over).
Update: OGo got an email from the Evolution project manager: "We would love to see native OpenGroupware plugins for Evolution being written.":-)
Oh what a happy day...
Now we have both a back-end and a client system available.
And, all the pretty desktops that run on Linux don't mean squat if the bean counters and other non-techie PHBs never considers evaluating them. I think this has to be done on both fronts, PR to people that control the purse strings at larger companies, and investment in developers that produce commercial class applications.
Yes, and you are so right. But... do yourself a massive favour and have a gander at Mark Shuttleworth's Home page.
On the right hand side you'll see quite a couple of projects he's involved in and funding, including:
1) Is Ignalum a source distribution, built from LFs, or an enhanced version of an existing distribution?
From the Google cache of their (hopelessly slashdotted) site:
Updated ISO images of Ignalum Linux 9 Beta 2 are now publicly available on a number of FTP mirrors.
The Ignalum advanced Internet-sharing and IPv6-over-NAT capabilities are not included in this release, but will be incorporated into the next release of Ignalum Linux which will be based on the latest Fedora Core.
Looks like it's either a RedHat 9 or a Fedora hack...
LKP is basicly system call emulation like that which is available in FreeBSD. This has NOTHING to do with pure user-space number crunching required of crypto computations!
Except, of course, that the reviewer hadn't claimed for even a moment that LKP had anything to do with user-space number crunching.
To quote the Tony Bourke on this exact matter, as well as his reasoning behind the test:
I ran some tests to see if the LKP imposed any performance penalty as opposed to running natively in UnixWare, and the results were pretty surprising.
To test, I used OpenSSL 0.9.7c's openssl speed function, invoking the command with openssl speed rsa dsa. To compile, I used the built-in C compiler for the UnixWare version and GCC 2.95.2 for the LKP version.
He then goes on to remark:
The results for both were virtually identical. For this test at least, there was no apparent performance penalty for running applications in the LKP versus natively.
Also included with UnixWare is the OKP (OpenServer Kernel Personality). OpenServer is SCO's other Unix product, and UnixWare offers an environment similar to the LKP to run OpenServer-native binaries unmodified. Not being familiar with OpenServer, I didn't evaluate that environment.
I'm terribly sorry, but your bias is showing. You did actually read the article you're slating with such abandon, didn't you?
Oh sorry, what was I thinking. Of course not. This is Slashdot, after all.
Maybe then you'll get a little respect, instead of the sneers and half-assed offers of help that you keep begging for.
I would hereby like to apologise for inconveniencing you by my mere existence. Arrogant Git!
I'm from a small family (just three kids. I'm 37, it's not unusual for my generation)
I have never murdered anyone in my life.
I have never stolen anything in my life.
I have never tortured anyone in my life. Regardless which damned village they're from.
The first person I find maiming or in any other way hurting any woman will put lie to two of the above. I will personally torture and then kill them. Any man who in any way hurts a woman has, in my eyes at least, given up all rights.
I live in a third world country.
So respectfully, go take a very long walk on a very short pier.
Generalisation is exactly the type of thing that makes Americans damn near universally reviled. Yes, I do realise that is a generalisation, but a mostly justified one seen from the perspective of comments such as yours.
Thank you, sir. Thank you for single-handedly solving all of Africa's problems.
Please remind me to erect a status in your honour.

Well, I suppose actually expecting intelligent insight and a sense of humour from /. was a tad optimistic...
You are so damned right.
That's why I stick to something nice and lean like emacs ...

- The Shuttleworth Foundation to fund innovative projects in education,
- The SchoolTool Project to produce a common global platform for school administration,
- It's Hip2BSquare! pro-education campaign,
- The ultra-cool UpStarts, an entrepreneurial incubator, and
- Of import to OSS developers, some bounties!
So, as you may see, he's most certainly not just counting on pretty desktops that run on Linux to conquer the world for OSS.As per ususal, in my own Quixotic way, I'm planning on helping as far I can...
Even if it is just mouthing off on /. <grin>

Can we say "Return on investment in less than eight months"?
Methinks they may have a slightly better idea of numbers than you seem to...
I dunno. The second sort of naturally follows from the first, doesn't it?

This year...
Next year, you pay support and maybe relicense, depending on your contract.
The year thereafter, you pay support and maybe relicense, depending on your contract.
The year thereafter, you upgrade; software first and then hardware when you find that the current hardware just doesn't cut it.
Over each of these years you've had to pay for customisation, and lost way in excess of a mere four hours of lost productivity in system downtime.
And don't even try and deny that. I work for a corporate and we went over the four hour mark by the middle of February.
Now, using your calculations, which of these solutions has the lower TCO.
I'll wait...

Fortunately I realised that that was because Google ignored the "The" preceding the "internet".
This should give a more accurate representation.
