Hydrogen is onboard today.

Hydrogen is the Evolution connector for Sun Java Enterprise System
Calendar Server (SJESCS). It enables Evolution to use SJESCS as a
calendar backend.

Hydrogen supports SJESCS 5.1 and above. It supports the WCAP (Web
Calendar Access Protocol) 2.0 and 3.0 protocols.

Hydrogen works with Evolution 1.4. Next step is to make it work with
Evolution trunk.

The CVS base is in the GNOME project CVS base at cvs.gnome.org. The
module name is 'hydrogen'. See
http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html.

This product is available under the terms of the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL
PUBLIC LICENSE, and a copy of it should be found in the source under the
COPYING file.

This work is sponsored by Sun Microsystems.

Enjoy and have fun.

Hydrogen 1.0 released

This project has a name space collision with the Hydrogen drum machine.

Yep. When I saw the headline, I thought "oh! Hydrogen (the drum machine)
has a new version, cool!" For me, not only does this project duplicate a
name, but it duplicates the name of something with which I'm much more
familiar.

It also references this "Java" thing again. 'Sun Java Enterprise System Calendar Server (SJESCS)' which hasn't anything to do with java the language, java the virtual machine byte code or java the object oriented libraries. But of course neither SJECS or Hydrogen is written in or uses any "java component". Duh.

Name collision

FWIW, I exchanged a note with the author; he sees the problem and is out shopping for a new name.

Thanks to Corbet & Comix for notifying me. I'm now looking for a solution for this. Will let you know in time.

Thanks, all guys.

The project name of 'Hydrogen', the Evolution connector for Sun Java Enterprise System Calendar Server (SJESCS) has been changed to 'evolution-jescs'.

Cheers.

Despite the name-space collision, this is pretty cool. Now Evolution can talk with Sun calendar server (SJESCS), Novell GroupWise and Microsoft Exchange.

No doubt there are internal IBM Lotus Notes and Oracle calendar server connectors just about ready. This makes Evolution able to talk to almost everything (except IETF calsch servers) and even easier to get into an 'enterprise'.

An even better outcome would be if this inspired some Free Software people to write a calsch server. Then your transation sceanario is even simpler. First convert to Evolution and use proprietary back-end. Then switch to Free Software backend.

Hmm...

...vaporware? :)

Indeed vaporware :-)

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co hydrogen
cvs server: cannot find module `hydrogen' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

Not vapourware

Anonymous CVS servers mirror once a day, so it isn't surprising that it hasn't propagated (given that the announcement is less than a day old).

If you look in viewcvs though, you can see that the code does exist.

SJESCS is a googlewhack

Posted Jun 22, 2004 20:45 UTC (Tue) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link]

Does SJESCS even exist? A Google search returns a single unrelated link. I'm trying to find a good centralized ical server for my Evolution users, but haven't found anything suitable yet...

(OK, fine a true whack has two words, but this is rare enough).
