Kolab integrates mobile devices via SyncML

return to top of page

Intevation GmbH has realised an extension to Kolab in cooperation with the Kolab Konsortium, Univention GmbH and Pardus, which allows users to connect mobile devices directly to the groupware server. Now it is possible to synchronize appointment times and contact information being away on business.

This was done by integrating the SyncML protocol into the Horde part of Kolab server. SyncML is a platform independant standard designed for the exchange of data between servers, clients and mobile devices.

The Horde interface is going to be integrated into Kolab Server/OpenPKG 2.2.0 as a beta version. Version 2.2.1 is then expected to integrate the SyncML extensions for tasks and contacts. In Univention's UGS the SyncML extensions are available as release candidates for testing purposes.

You can find more information in Univention's press release (German only).

Intevation GmbH presents its training program for the second half of 2008

return to top of page

Intevation GmbH presents its training program for the second half of 2008. In addition to our most popular topics such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS, UMN MapServer as well as OpenLayers the training will be extended by two additional topics: OpenStreetMap and deegree!.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) aims at creating a world map within a Wikipedia-like community project. Therefore OSM collects geographical data as well as points of interest all over the world and develops Free Software (Open-Source-Software) which helps acquire, save and process the data.

You can learn in only one day how OpenStreetMap data and/or OSM software may be used in your own projects. You also gain insight into the data sources in order to be able to decide whether they are useable for your projects.

deegree is one of the leading frameworks aiming at building geographical data infrastructures with Free Software. In this workshop you learn how to set up your own infrastructure as well as how to use other data services. Different standards of the Open Geospatial Consortiums (OGC) play a major role in this context.

Further information as well as the schedule can be found on http://www.intevation.de/geospatial or by sending a message to info@intevation.de.
