Ride the Lightning: Mozilla's calendar finally approaches 1.0Ride the Lightning: Mozilla's calendar finally approaches 1.0Posted Feb 12, 2010 20:24 UTC (Fri) by ceplm (guest, #41334)Parent article: Ride the Lightning: Mozilla's calendar finally approaches 1.0
Whenever I suggest to my friends switch to Linux, there are two questions I get. The first is always "Can I work with MS Office documents?", and I am happy that I can say firmly yes, thanks to OpenOffice.org. However, then the second question follows "Can I sync my calendar/todolist/addressbook in cell phone with it?", and unfortunately then I begin to think about the state of opensync, and I am getting really defensive.
If the Thunderbird-opensync-any-widely-used-cellphone connection was made really (I mean, really) functional, it would help a lot.

Still no support for Exchange Posted Feb 15, 2010 18:10 UTC (Mon) by dion (subscriber, #2764) [Link]
It may be MS' fault for having a nasty trainwreck of a protocol, but there's openchange now and MS has even published documentation on the exchange protocol, so it ought to be possible to talk to it.
Exchange may suck and getting rid of it may be the best solution, but it's what a lot of companies use for a shared calendar and there a ton of people who are stuck using outlook or owa who'd otherwise be free of all MS products.
