Free appointment software for linux

Rainlendar project is a customizable desktop calendar.
Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesnt take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it both on Windows and on Linux. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.
It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar*.
Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.
All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the weeks events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.
You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure youll remember to do them on time.
Youll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you dont miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.
And thats not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.

Cottage Med is an Open Source Software that is ...
- Accessible & Affordable (Free, in fact)
- Easily Customizable and Expandable
- Designed by physicians for physicians
- Used by doctors in the U.S. and developing nations
- a template for FileMaker versions 5-7
Are you intimidated by computers? Is the cost of an electronic medical record ("EMR") beyond your reach? Are you a non-profit organization or a struggling doctor young or old? Our profession suffers with a blizzard of competing and conflicting EMRs. Bloated with unnecessary features, they cost a thiefs arm and a leg to boot. In Cottage Med you can quickly learn and easily reprogram our EMR just like visual Basic without programming experience.
Medicine has a big problem - no broadly accepted, affordable EMR standard exists. Cottage Med bridges your difficult present and unknown future by helping you step into a calmer, smoother, more productive now where you maintain full control over your information, full access to it, and the ability to smoothly export it to whatever future system or standards you choose. Open-Source EMRs are simply great solutions.
A flexible, ruggedly dependable and HIPAA-secure office system can be constructed with your old computer hardware for a few hundred dollars...with secure and wireless networking, PDA and multiple-office support, prescription writing and cross-platform compatibility built in. You should not believe the hype of the AAFP and hundreds of for-profit EMR software companies; our EMR solutions work right now, today, at no cost even without buying FileMaker.
Designed for PC, Apple and Linux environments, these templates run within the database program FileMaker (so its not a "pure" open-source project), but Cottage Med installs like childs play, develops quickly, and does the job to help improve healthcare. The templates designers offer free software support and system suggestions as needed.

Day planner is a simple time management program. It is designed to help you easily manage your time.

It can manage appointments, birthdays, and more. Day planner makes sure you remember your appointments by popping up a dialog box reminding you about them.

Day planner is free software which means that its free for everyone to use, share, change and copy.

enotes is a small GNU Emacs script to handle appointments. enotes stores a list of notes, each with a title, a warning date, a date and optionally a long description and a reference file.
A window pops up when a warning time is reached. It is simple (more than calendar and others), yet reliable and very practical.
Enhancements:
- Minor features such as the ability to move the event/warning by one hour in the future with one keystroke.
- One visible change is the ability to add a colored flags for each event.

Aethera is a pim application, i.e. it handles all kinds of personal information: email, contacts, notes, tasks, todos, journals. It has various communication features regarding: send/receive email, send/receive task requests and appointment requests via email. It can help you to know quickly the worlds news and weather.
Aethera is a new cutting edge communications and personal data management software written with Qt and deployed for Linux, Windows and Macintosh. By PIM we mean Personal Information Manager, by PDR we mean Personal Data Repository, the rest should be obvious.
Aethera supports all the standard messaging protocols such as POP and IMAP with full synchronization capability as well as support for multiple identities. All the features you would expect to find in an industrial strength email system are part of Aethera. In addition there is a personal calendar and schedule, as well as "sticky" notes, "To Do" lists, an address book, groupware compatibility via Kolab, and optional plug ins the extend the idea of collaboration beyond the bounds of typical groupware with instant messaging, whiteboarding and voice over IP (VoIP). The combination of Aethera with Kolab provides you with a very powerful combination that can realistically replace Outlook/Exchange and in some cases Lotus Notes, for only the price of the hardware to install it on. There are no per server costs or per user costs unless you want the optional plug ins, which are all priced at trivial amounts. Since Aethera runs on virtually any operating system you are likely to use, it doesnt require that you make any changes on the desktop.
The Groupware portion of Aethera can be as simple as sharing your personal schedule to arrange meetings and discover scheduling conflicts, sharing your contacts or even your ideas using notes and images. There is support for Kolab Groupware server, a good solution for people who need synchronization and instant access to information. Aethera is also a GPL, this means you get the source code with the application to do whatever you want. We dont charge for Aethera, however we do have the optional plug ins that we charge for, but you are free to create your own plug ins for your own use or to give away to other people and companies.
We are available to build plug ins or add functionality on a time and materials basis if you wish to have specific customizations in a timely fashion, just contact us at . Aethera uses advanced functionality that we developed that allows you to add new plug ins with relative ease across operating systems, making Aethera truly unique and extensible. Our use of Qt from Trolltech gives us the ability to easily make the user interface multi-platform, and we take care of the rest.
Aethera is well suited, and designed, around the idea of collaboration and information management. So lets talk about whats there now, what wed like to do in the future and what is possible to do.
Through our creative use of Jabber weve been able to integrate not only an instant messaging client, but also the worlds only collaborative whiteboarding application built on top of Jabber. This allows you to rapidly communicate with friends and co-workers anywhere in the world and be able to easily share visual ideas. Our Jabber client is also the only one currently available that supports file transfers between clients with no problems with firewalls. Now an extension of this idea would be to allow you to share any object within Aethera to people you are Jabbering with, for example: Say you are in a one on one chat, or better yet, a MUC (Multi User Chat in Jabber terms) and you drop a Contact from Aethera in to the chat, everyone can have that automatically load in to their contact list, or maybe it is a file, a picture, etc. This is all theoretically possible today with the technology that exists in the framework, it just hasnt been written yet.
Weve added what we call the aethera-command extension. This allows you to essentially script Aethera externally. So for example on Windows, you could have a VBA script that was part of MS Excel that could populate your Address Book with the data out of Excel. Some of the things were talking about here can be solved with aethera-command, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
Another useful tool that could be done in a relatively short amount of time would be a CRM module, this is "Customer Resource Management" and is invaluable for sales people. If youve ever seen ACT! or Goldmine, this is what we are talking about, but far more flexible and better integration between all the modules. The design is done, but resources are thin to do everything we want.
Aethera could also be enabled to create discussion forums and knowledge bases within the enterprise or across the Internet. Aethera will also supports sophisticated work flow management through a graphical interface that allows you describe the flow of work through a process. Perhaps a document needs to be reviewed by, and signed off by several different people in a particular sequence. When that is done, then a copy is faxed or printed or emailed to another recipient at another location, and the task is then flagged as completed and notification is sent to the task manager. A web interface is also available so that you are never out of touch with your information. Eventually Aethera will integrate with our Project Management software as a fully integrated solution.
The PDR portion of Aethera will allow for new, and to our knowledge, completely unique features for managing your personal information. How many places do you have to organize information? You have your disk drive where you create directory structures and save information. You have web pages that you save in the bookmarks of your web browser, and you have your email. How often have you saved a bookmark only to have the link go away later, or you cant remember why you saved it? How often have you saved an email, and then cant remember why? Two very exciting pieces of Aethera address these issues for you.
Weve been designing a component on Linux that will allow any enabled application to save its information into the Aethera virtual file system. This one step allows you, but does not require you, to save any and all files into a single hierarchy that is easily organized, indexed and searchable. You will even be able to use Aethera to save your bookmarks through Konqueror and have multiple sorting criteria so that you can easily find and use them. A plug in for Konqueror will also allow you to save whole, or in part, web pages into the Aethera VFS instead of just saving the URL. This becomes even more useful with the next piece. It is conceivable to provide the same level of functionality through Internet Explorer on Windows and Safari on OS X.
The companion piece is the Annotation Tool. This component allows the user to add any personal notes to any piece of information being saved. So now you can save off that web page and make some notes on it when you save it as well as maintain the original URL information if needed. You can now file away your emails into folders and put your own notes and thoughts with them, ensuring that you will always know what your various correspondence were about in case the thread is lost. Anything that is saved into the VFS will have the ability to be annotated, giving you ultimate control over your personal information.
The VFS can easily be swapped to a SQL compliant database backend, which provides for better data security and more robust searching capability, not to mention better speed as your data repositories grow. You could then use any type of database tool to browse and report from those data structures (provided you have security clearance).
We hope you are starting to see and understand the vision of Aethera, what it can do today, and what it can do tomorrow.

absence is a calendar tool written in Perl for keeping track of people (but could be adapted for any other object) on a daily basis.

It is meant to replace that ubiquitous whiteboard in the office of the boss.

You know the one, where someone has used a permanent magic marker to mark a matrix, and vacations/training/etc. are marked with non-permanent markers as blocks.

absence is a CGI system, and has a resolution of one day.

It is not intended to be used for keeping appointments or any other activity that requires a finer resolution.

It generates an image for each month to be displayed using the GD library, and it can be configured to produce PNG or GIF (or even JPEG).

Project-Based Calendaring System (in short PBCS) is an open source web-based calendaring system, designed to be an useful aid for people who manage schedules for one or more persons.
Project-based Calendaring Systems main feature, which distinguishes it from all other calendar applications, is that schedule planners can plan schedules for other people easily using day or week overviews showing multiple people at once.
There are the regular single-user overviews for those who look mainly at their own calendar. For people on the road it is now possible to sync your appointments into a Palm PDA.

- Fixed IE javascript errors in the user picker and the user & group administration section.
- Fixed IE javascript error in the installer_pbcs.php.
- Now IE6 and 7 should be able to install 0.7.1!

Openchange project intends to provide an Open-Source implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 under Unix Platforms.
The Openchange Project is developed in C language under the BSD license, and will primary work on NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux platforms. The project time line has been defined to approximatively one year, and we believe the project will be in a complete stable state at this time.
Openchange wishes to integrate the enterprise working environment and to substitute to an Exchange Server in a transparent way, so final users may continue to use Outlook, or any other mail client.
We also intend to provide to network administrators an easy solution to migrate Exchange databases into Openchange ones and reversely. And last but not least, we work so developers may reuse our sources in a smart way.
The project is divided into 4 parts :
- The OpenChange Library
- The OpenReverse Library
- The Documentation Framework
- The Openchange specifications
The OpenChange Library
This library includes all the requests managing the identification process, the data flow, and all the other requirements needed to permit the communication between an Outlook client and an Exchange Server. It can be used either to develop another Exchange-like server or client.
The OpenReverse Library
Due to legal restriction, the Openchange Server wont reuse the Microsoft Jet Database file format. Instead, we provide a library making easy to parse headers, retrieve the data, calculate checksum and more generally to offer a abstract migration tool to other user defined backends. This library can also be used for basics to develop a repair database tool.
The Documentation Framework
In the documentation framework, you will find all our research results. The subjects may concern the Exchange Internals or treat of a related subject. We wants to provide the most valuable information so our work can be shared with developers community.
The OpenChange Specifications
At last, we will provide the complete specifications of OpenChange in a printable way. This major document of the OpenChange team will help new developers to understand how Exchange Server works, how we implemented our APIs to make OpenChange, Exchange compatible. Around this main development, you will find several modules:
- OpenUtils Library
- OpenSniff
- OpenEDB
Enhancements:
- This release fixes limitations from the previous release (0.2) and adds a set of new features.
- Sending email messages to external recipients is now possible.
- It can also fetch and create appointments, contacts, and tasks in their respective default folder.
- Experimental NEWMAIL notification support is also available.
- The openchangeclient command line messaging tool has been improved and exchange2mbox has been introduced.
- It provides a way to synchronize an Exchange mailbox with an mbox file, supports MIME types, and is able to reflect changes back to Exchange.
