I'm using owncloud for synching of calendar and contacts. No worry about privacy.
OK, well that's one good way of sharing on the LAN
Quite to the contrary, Owncloud is perfect for sharing one's calender on the Internet -- without using Google's calendar with all its implied privacy concerns. Some of us don't want Google to track and read their calendars... Yeah, I know, we're the tin-foil hat folks. :-) To use Owncloud, you just need some server connected to the Internet with LAMP stack.
Its not an issue of "contrary", its an issue of "complementary" or perhaps "where do you want to draw your boundaries?" The ownCloud mailing list has had threads discussion using ownCloud as a complete alternative, that includes not just the calendar but the contact list management (which of course you could have done anyway with LDAP and if you had you could absorb that into ownCloud), IMAP based email, and more. You can install many apps in ownCloud https://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/admin_manual/installation/apps_managemen... and there is a large library of them https://apps.owncloud.com/ though writing your own isn't difficult, assuming you know PHP. Or perhaps javascript. https://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/developer_manual/app/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7H1OWU8kgo https://owncloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Write_Your_ownCloud_App_in_6... -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
