In January this year we started the MyKolab beta phase and last week we finally moved it to its production environment, just in time for the Swiss national day. This seemed oddly fitting since the Swiss national day celebrates its independence and self-determination, as they were liberating themselves from the feudal system. So when Bruce Schneier

Following the disclosures about details on how the United States and other countries are monitoring the world there has been a global discussion about this subject that’s been long overdue. In previous articles I tried to put together what actually has been proven thus far, what that means for society, and what are the implications for

Six months after we released Kolab 3.0, we are very happy to announce the immediate availability of Kolab 3.1 alpha. The most notable new features are CalDAV and CardDAV support. There is also integration with file storage in our web client. It serves files through WebDAV.

We are deeply worried about programs like PRISM and are therefore especially

After a primer on the realities of today’s world, and the totalitarian tendencies that follow from this environment and our behaviour in it, let’s take a look at what this means for professional use of information technology.

Firstly, it should be obvious that when you use the cloud services of a company, you have no secrets from that

After a somewhat brief overview over the world we find ourselves in, the question is what does this mean to us as a society?

As highlighted in the previous article, governments have no realistic option not to engage in some form of activities to protect their people from threats that originate on-line or have an on-line component. These were the

Sixteen weeks have passed since my last post – quite some time! About a week ago I switched my private mail system to Kolab 3, using openSUSE 12.3 as a base. Works really great! We progressed far and I'm proud to announce:Kolab 3.0 for openSUSE 12.2 and openSUSE 12.3 STABLE repositories are published!
