#2495 Fedora Based Groupware Distribution
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by cnoffsin.

Project name: Fedora Alliance

Project short summary: An effort to create a collaboration solution that is lightweight on resource use, communicates using Open Standards. A solution that is data-centric and not application-bound. Each piece of the tool set must be integrated as a single suite, simultaneously accessible to mobile and static computing devices.

(Slideshow attached to ticket with detailed description)

Separated Into Layers:
Server Backend: Based on Open standards

Web Interface: Webmail/Calendaring/Chat

Standalone Applications: Because of the open-standard backend any app can be used but we want to have Thunderbird/lightning/(chat client has not been decided) be deployable to all three major platforms, from the server with as much of the configuration done. Prefferably the only thing for the user to do is enter username and password.

Sync Services: Caldav/Carddav/IMAP push sync for the three major smartphones Android/Iphone/Blackberry

Ease of Installation: Would like the installer to be text-based from a kickstart postinstall script on a base install. Presumably when done users would just need to be created in the directory service (Freeipa)

I would like this to end up being a spin that can be installed from a command-line and admined in the respective web-panels and user data in the directory server.

I have already done testing with Davical and had good results. The developers are very helpful and they are readily available in irc. I have support from a good number of Red Hat employees with many already being involved in other Fedora projects:

Simo Sorce
Steve Milner
Matej Cepl
and many others.

SCM choice (git/bzr/hg/svn): bzr
