OpenGroupware Legacy 5.5rc1

The OpenGroupware team is proud to announce the release of the first release candidate of OpenGroupware [Legacy] version 5.5. This OpenGroupware is a continuation of OpenGroupware.org 1.x [originally from Skyrix]. The source is now hosted as a SourceForge project.

It has undergone a long way and major changes to switch from old gnustep-make 1/libFoundation to gnustep-make 2 and gnustep-base. Further OpenGroupware now depends on the SOPE fork maintained by the SOGo developers at Inverse. A lot of changes went into OpenGroupware, and also SOPE to resolve compatibility and stability issues.

What is OpenGroupware
OpenGroupware is a web based collaboration platform and groupware solution:
  • LDAP or database authentication
  • manage contacts/companies
  • manage tasks
  • E-Mail Web Mail (IMAP client)
  • project and document management
  • GroupDAV interface
  • scripting Interface via zOGI
  • and more...

What's new
  • replaced dependency of gnustep-make V1.X with gnustep-make V2.X
  • replaced dependency of libFoundation with gnustep-base
  • now based on SOPE from the SOGo team
  • Experimental new features:
    • CTI with Asterisk
      • allows you to trigger calls via the Web Interface
    • Integration with location based services
      • geocoding of addresses using the Google Geocoding API
      • show list of contacts on a MAP
      • links to location based services on the Web for addresses
  • SNSD5 support dropped
  • We are working on how to get OGo multiple instances support back
