Hello:

I'm looking for a calendar program for linux with a specific view area.

I use the google calendar, either via web, or via thunderbird. It has several views, but none exactly like that image. That looks like an aularium schedule.

The advantage of google is that I can access it from several devices, specifically with my android phone, which I carry with me. Yes, privacy might be a concern... there is always the doubt.

I too use the google calendar system ... What Istavan shows is really a planning/scheduling system. I can do that with google; more too. A client uses this := He has one calendar for each person, one for the meeting rooms. People using them sow up in different colours. Each person can manipulate his own calendar showing when he''s away/available. Everyone can see everyone else's or hide some. The office manager has a view of everyone. You can set up a meeting and 'invite' people. Project leaders can see all of their team. There's some way to publish with control over who can see, what groups can see your calendar. A couple of professional/social groups i belong to publish their calendars. Off course using Thunderbird you can view the calendar there and push email that you've negotiated meeting into the calendar(s) you have write access to. And then do an invite :-) It's very flexible and very powerful. As Carlos says, its web accessible on your tablet and phone, and integrates with various forms of reminder systems. https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/calendar/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdJJtwa-hI http://wpsit.blogspot.ca/2014/09/using-resource-calendars-in-google-apps.htm... -- 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

I may look at google calendar.

Thanks for the suggestion/correction. I will make query for scheduling/planning programs for linux, maybe it will give other more useful results than query for calendar program.

I'm using owncloud for synching of calendar and contacts. No worry about privacy. Unfortunately, the android-app is not free (less than a euro, though). And you need also some DAV-client e.g.davdroid, or easydav (didn't try this).

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. Owncloud allows to establish several calendars, you may share them r/o or r/w with others. E.g., both my wife and myself have a personal calendar, shared r/w, business calendars shared r/o to prevent date collisions, and an additional one with concert dates that we share r/o with friends. This infrastructure made always-online date planning a reality, it's a really great feature. Installation of Owncloud is via OBS, that's the obligatory connection to openSUSE. (My Owncloud server actually uses Debian rusty, also supplied by OBS.)

WHAT ANDROID APP?

As it happens I also use Android and have calendar programs that access my google calendars, sync them, same with my tablet.

I doubt that your calendar app syncs the Google Calendar, that's done by the Google apps itself, it's an intrinsic feature of Google's functionality. If you want to use a different calendar supplier, e.g. Owncloud, you need to establish synchronization: Google apps won't do it on their own, and the calendar apps don't do it, contrary to your assumption. I can recommend CalDAV-Sync from Marten Gajda for that purpose, works like a charm. I thought there would be a free and a pay-for version, but don't find the free version anymore. Anyhow, the 2,95 EUR was worth any cent. After sync has been established, all those calendar programs cited by you can kick in and can be used. In addition to those named by you, I'm very satisfied with aCalendar/aCalendar+, highly recommendable as well.

Hello:

I'm looking for a calendar program for linux with a specific view area.

it should look similar to the one in this image:

http://i59.tinypic.com/3358g91.jpg

Days should be in horizontal order only, and places, hours of days etc. vertically. Tasks or names could be assigned to specific places/hours during specific days. For example John Doe will be staying in New York from Aug. 18-22.

Would be nice if I could export/save the data and open/import them on another machine.

Is there something like this, open source or free, for linux?

All calendars I looked at (screenshots) has days both horizontally and vertically.

Thanks,

Istvan

As for as a true cross-platform, php/mysql groupware solution, I have used eGroupWare for the past decade and been 100% impressed. It is a complete calendar/contact/knowledge base/todo/call log/project manager/e-mail/and a lot more/ solution with caldav and carddav (webdav) interfaces that seamlessly integrates with all phone contact and calendar lists. It provides fine-grain user/group access control.

It is an open-source project with a 100% free community version that is 100% functional. (Their business model is based on corporate support and an updated document management system module) The setup will take 15-30 minutes and it can be configured to take snapshots/backups as often as you like.

I would suggest the svn version. There has been a significant UI update in the latest release. The prior versions had been 1.0 -> 1.8. With the new UI, versioning begins with 14.0. (current was 14.2 when I last checked)

http://community.egroupware.org/wiki?wikipage=subversion

Checkout is:

1.8 branch

svn checkout \ http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/branches/1.8/aliases/default .

14.0 branch

svn checkout \ http://svn.egroupware.org/egroupware/branches/14.2/aliases/default .

It is a complete replacement for M$ exchange and then some.

David, Thank you for the detailed description and links. I will give a try to this as soon as I'll have time to set it up. Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
