Open Groupware

Hi all,

I just stumbled upon open groupware, http://opengroupware.org/ and it looks like
they bet huge on postgresql.

Are we covering them actively for upcoming releases and other tuning
enhancements? Just making sure we don't leave them out.

  Bye

As far as i could see this runs only under postgresql.
I also think this groupware ist the best Open Source produkt for
business use as an office server.
Cause ist can be used with outlook and evolution.

I'm now setting this thing up for persoinal uses and it's real good

Check kolab server(http://kolab.kroupware.org/) as well if you are in groupware
search. But as far as I see, the outlook connector for both the products are not
open source. So you might have to pay for it before you test.

Or you can switch to mozilla as defacto standard in your office. That should be
rather simpler..:-)

No, and we should ... they're good guys.   You want to invite them to forward
their announcements to announce@postgresql.org?   Major releases only, of
course.

What kind of measure to do want to apply to control who should forward
announcements to our announcement list?  I can name half a dozen other
projects that support PostgreSQL no more no less than this package, but
ISTM that people who want to find out about packages that work with
PostgreSQL should go to our website (there is/used to be(?) a page that
covers this), and people who want to track the project progress can
subscribe to their announcement lists.

IMHO, if a posting goes to announce, and is for an OSS project that
revolves around PostgreSQL (and isn't the fifth minor release that week),
I generally let her through ... its not a high traffic list right now as
it is ... if its a commercial project/software, then major releases is
about it ...

Mozilla doesn't give you near the abilities that a
groupware/outlook/evolution system gives you. For a business,
especially people in sales or customer service, Mozilla just doesn't cut
it.

I use Mozilla daily but my salesmen hate it.

None. We should promote as many announcements around PostgreSQL as
reasonably possible. The more traffic to that
list, the more word of mouth is generated. We should also be posting to
prweb for the weekly news.

If a project uses and relies on postgresql solely, I think we should cover it
and mention them on our website. May be a software section for software that
entirely use or prefer postgresql.

Cross linking is always good. Let's moderate it and that's about it..

What say?

P.S. Sorry for late reply. Was on vacation for last 4 days..:-)
