Quoting Craig Sanders (cas@taz.net.au): [Radicale and Xandikos:]
thanks, i'll take a look at those. both are packaged for debian, too, which is good.
Did you notice how there's basically _no_ publicity for these small, fast, secure, modestly scoped projects -- only for overfeatured, huge, slow, probably insecure groupware dinosaurs? It sure did strike me that way, a couple of years ago when I did an impromptu survey of Linux 'iCalendar'-hosting software. Actually, possible amusing story: I lurk on a LUG mailing list in central Florida (GoLugTech), where one of the members posted this in Jan. 2018: Suggestion: add iCalendar for meetings to golug.org I knew what he _meant_. He meant that, seeing as he's a frequent user of Google's hosted proprietary service 'Google Calendar', would GoLUG please, for his personal convenience, henceforth maintain an iCalendar dataset, that GoLUG would craft and host entirely within Google's hosted service -- basically asking GoLUG volunteers to do ongoing work to support 'cloud' outsourcing. But since that's not what he _said_, I somewhat mischievously replied to the letter rather than the spirit of his request, exploring in several postings all current _self-hosted_ Linux software (both proprietary and open source), by which one can create/edit and then SELF-host RFC-5545 iCalendar event files for public / LUG access -- with access mediated by the CalDAV and CardDAV access protocols, for reasons I briefly detail.[1] As I predicted, the querent made no reply. He probably had no intention of ever finding iCalendar client software for _any_ OS; his vision went only as far as his opening https://calendar.google.com/ in a Web browser and letting Google do everything via AJAXey HTML5 operations and stupendously complex proprietary back-end software. (In fact, I'll bet he's never seen an .ics file, and would have zero idea what to do with it.) Anyway, my improptu survey from Jan. 2018 may still be of interest. I re-posted it to SVLUG's main mailing list (after some copyedits): http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2018-January/062504.html http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2018-January/062505.html http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2018-January/062506.html Disclaimer: It having been almost exactly two years, I wouldn't be the least surprised if my survey is has mold around the edges. [1] This happens to be the feature-scope (IMO) 'sweet spot' occupied by Radicale and its two forks Calypso and Xandikos. (I didn't mention Calypso before. Keith Packard of X.org fame wrote it. See third link, above.) -- Cheers, "Maybe the law ain’t perfect, but it’s the only Rick Moen one we got, and without it we got nuthin'." rick@linuxmafia.com -- U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves, circa 1875 McQ!
