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

hinzufügen zu /etc/postfix/main.cf:
message_size_limit = 41943040
mailbox_size_limit = 41943040

Postfix anschliessend neu

Here's a config for nginx&php5-fpm that works under Debian7 and CentOS6.

It still needs some testing under CentOS6, though. All features seem to be working at first, second and third glance, but I didn't go much past glances. It does work in Debian7 pretty well.

It's set to enforce https connection to all

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!

(Or at least they are building at the moment,

Questions of privacy, security and control have occupied me for a long time, both personally and professionally. In fact it was a significant aspect of my decision to switch focus from the Free Software Foundation Europe to Kolab Systems: I wanted to reduce the barriers to actually putting the principles into practice.

Quite lengthy but very straightforward description of the Kolab Groupware integration with Piwik Web Analytics.
Integration process is simpler than you think as the additional application (Piwik) is hosted externally, and doesn't use single sign-on.

In a previous article, I described my experiences setting up Kolab for groupware functionality on Debian Wheezy. One of the problems I encountered was that of searching for resources when creating events, and it didn’t seem possible to start typing the name of a resource and to have the details autocompleted. Given that Kolab integrates Round

I have recently had the inclination to evaluate Free Software groupware solutions in more detail, and perhaps the first that came to mind was Kolab: a long-running project that provides a range of groupware functions including e-mail, calendaring, address books, task management, and various other functions for a fairly wide range of organisation
