Portability (horizontal integration), the SOGo Integrator makes use of theįeatures and layout only available from SOGo (vertical integration).įor some versions Lightning is integrated into integrator and sometimesĬonnector is connected to connector but in other versions they are not On the other hand, the SOGo Integrator extension transforms Thunderbird into a This by adding support for remote DAV address books and by adding features toīe used along with the Lightning calendar extension. Which comes bundled with the calendar extensionĬonfusingly there is also Sogo integrator, whichįirst of all, the SOGo Connector extension transforms Thunderbird into a fullĭAV client for groupware servers such as SOGo, eGroupware or Citadel. Thunderbird also gets CardDAV support, I think, via a plugin, This kind of nonsense leaves me pretty sure that no one is actually using this configuration. So I needed to uninstall evolution and re-install as a traditional deb to get this working. That’s right, evolution is installed per default as a flatpak which means it is somewhat sandboxed, which means such a cross app config no longer works. Maybe I can edit some textual config file somewhere. There is no actual way to enter carddav/caldav servers in GNOME contacts directly. Or perhaps the authors imagine I already know that many details have been palmed off to evolution-data-server which does all the work.Īlso, non-obviously, I need to fire up a different app, Evolution, to even configure this app. Its documentation is meagre, presumably because it is supposed to be intuitively friendly, but it is not friendly to me. This is clearly not a feature that has much effort in it.Ī GNOME desktop contact management Contacts seems well-integrated. Those have been untouched since the 2018 version came out No once cares enough about this problem to fix it. See the following bug reports: #100, #101. So that’s annoying but good enough, right? Wrong! this system does not support photos, and breaks when you use them. However, caldav/carddav including icloud will percolate its way into the system if you set it up via Evolution. They lean heavily on brand-name services (M$, google, Nextcloud). You can hear my CPU fan across the room and watch the battery meter drop every hour when sync kicks in.Įvolution data server has an inscrutable demarcation of responsibilities between itself and the GNOME desktop.Įvolution seems to support generic caldav/carddav servers if you go in through evolution’s own settings However it would like you to go into the GNOME “online accounts” settings, which do not seems to support that. I’m not a massive fan of GNOME mail client Evolution because it leaks memory and uses astonishing amounts of Which is approximately what we want I suppose, but only enterprise procurement staff can say it with a straight face, because saying “groupware” unironically is an interview question when recruiting for such roles. In practice, there are various confusions, tweaks, failures and standards wars.Īnother sometimes-useful keyword is “groupware” which AFAICT is a buzzword left overįrom the early 2000s which meant “collective calendars+contacts+email+other cruft”, Your house now to get to dinner with your grandmother. In principle this is all you need to get your smartphone telling you to leave You can use whatever calendar client you’d like. There is also some standard that some mail providers seem to use where contacts and calendars are stored in mailboxes I do not know how that works or what it is called.Īll you need is a server which talks those standards and What is the social platform that allows us to collectively discover events?įacebook has made a bid to be a monopoly provider of these services,Īre the de facto standards to sync your calendar and contact information (respectively) in a That’s the raw logistical end there is also the question of social event discovery.
