Need workgroup calendar
Hi All,
I have a business customer with six W7-pro in a local area workgroup. They live and die on a Outlook calendar in a single computer. The customer asked me if I could migrate the calendar into a workgroup calendar that everyone could see and select individuals could edit. The calendar would need to 1) stick to the local area workgroup (no cloud service) 2) involve no Linux or Windows servers 3) open source in highly preferred (non proprietary) 4) does not use a browser for an interface You guys have an tips? Many thanks, -T |

If you find a really good one, maybe you report back? TIA. Thank you. I will! I use Osmo on my main computer, but that is Linux and it doesn't network. |

"that everyone could see and select individuals could edit" The Outlook calendar already provides those capabilities. Just go into Calendar permissions and give everyone 'Reviewer' permissions and a select few 'Editor' permissions. Done. You can also tweak each of those permission levels for quite a bit of extended granularity. -- Char Jackson |

They don't like Cloud services. The Internet is really unreliable around these parts. :'( But, thank you anyway! |

Many thanks, -T Two that I have used are Rainlendar Pro (free or paid) and its open source and Linux / Windows compatible. I paid so I could get a connection to Google calendar which is not in the free version. But if you have a shared space on the network, both of these program provide creating local .ICS ical files. With this one you get a desktop list of events, a calendar and a todo list. All are optional to be displayed on the wallpaper/desktop. I show the event list on my desktop down the right side. http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php Also desktop calendar lite. http://www.desksware.com/desktop-icalendar-lite.htm Again this can point to a shared folder/files someplace. Both however are high on my list since I want the events showing on the desktop. The calendars are optional. And both programs allow customization. I've even tweaked the files for Rainlendar to make my own size color shape wording etc for my event list. Took a few months but I got it. Pure XML and png/jpg image files. |

Many thanks, -T Hi All, I go out tomorrow to install a 45 day trial of http://www.vueminder.com/ I have been corresponding with the developer and am very impressed. This should be a home run. It import and will synchronize with Outlook. I has readers and contributors. and it uses MySQL (not M$SQL) as its database. Reasonably priced too. I will keep you guys posted. -T |
