Free calendar sharing software software for linux

BORG is a combination calendar and task tracking system. The calendar supports simple todos. The Task Tracker goes way beyond todos.
BORG is basically meant to be a small self-contained Java application that you can run locally. Many users run BORG Calendar and Task Tracker from a thumb drive.
BORG actually stands for Berger-Organizer. Unfortunately, the name BORG seems to be a popular choice for software products, probably due to the number of Star Trek fans that write code. The fact that BORG calendar also seems to refer to the Microsoft Outlook calendar makes things even more confusing. Oh well....
Why would anyone want to use a home-grown calendar/task tracker when there are so many others out there, freeware and otherwise?
A potential BORG user might agree with the following:
- I use a calendar/task tracker to remind me to do everything in life that I have to do.
- I do not want to set up a web server just to see my calendar
- I do not want to access the internet to see my calendar
- I work on Linux, Windows and other OSs and would like any of my machines to run my calendar program
- I dont want to have to worry about my calendar not working if I upgrade linux, windows, glibc, mySQL, apache, < fill in any third-party software that causes things to stop working >, etc...
- I like open source software. Even if the developer(s) die, I can still build and enhance my calendar program.
Main features:
- Nice Month-at-a-time view
- To-Do list
- Month-print
- Repeating Appointments
- Private Appointments that do not show by default (for recording things like "rectal exam 2pm" that you dont need your friends/coworkers to see over your shoulder).
- The Task Tracker tracks issues and tasks through a set of states with start and end dates, sub-tasks, descriptions, and resolutions.
- Pop-up reminders
- Email reminders
- User tunable task types and state transitions in the task tracker
- Week and Day Views
- A simple address book
- File-based DB or MySQL DB
- XML import/export
- iCal import/export
- more ...

Volume Sharing Manager (Vsman) is a utility that has been designed for volume (directory) sharing management on the server side. So far, it manages NFS v3 and V4, but can be extended to others volume sharing systems.
You can select a NFS v4 server interface in the preferences dialog box. Otherwise, invoke vsman with the flag -4 in order to display the NFS v4 specific mounting options when needed.
Vsman must be run as root. It displays on the left a tree view of known directories with their possible accesses, i.e. client hosts that can mount directories from the server where vsman is running.
Each directory is displayed with a green, yellow or red spot.
Green if the directory is exported but not mounted.
Yellow when exported and mounted.
Red when unexported.
When you double-click on an access, the left side shows its mounting options.
You can obviously declare a new volume. Vsman just asks you the name of the corresponding directory. You can of course create or delete accesses for the current volume. When you create one, a dialog box appears, that asks you the suitable host name, network
name or address, or netgroup name.
If the host filed is empty, the networks field is then tested, and if empty again, the netgroup is selected.
If you select "NIS" instead of "Files" in the preferences dialog box, the hosts, networks, users and groups will be fetched from the given NIS domain name. For more info about NIS, read the corresponding HOWTO documentation.
Selecting the Reexport menu will reexport all and synchronize vsman with the exported volumes declared in /etc/exports.
Double-click on a mounting host and select Unexport Host in the Action menu, and the current volume will be unexported from the corresponding volume.
Unexport whole volume will do the same thing, but for all the mounting hosts.
The Start / Stop menu will stop or restart the NFS server.
The Save menu will write the NFS /etc/exports file and reexport all volumes.
This tool has been written in Ada 95, using gtkada 2.4 as the toolkit. Dont forget to install gnat 4.1.x or later. Gnat is now a component of the gcc suite.
Enhancements:
- A few important bugs were fixed.
- Hostname lookup was added.
- The compilation and installation process was improved.

Web Sharing is a small tray applet for sharing files on the web.

Publish anything on the Internet or your local area network at home, office or school from a folder on your hard disk with just a few clicks of a mouse!

Shezhu Resource Sharing System project is an application for scheduling and booking shared resources such as rooms and equipment.
The client only needs a modern Web browser.
It has a user friendly point and click interface, visual filters for making block/repeat bookings, concurrent users and double booking prevention, allows local site customization, and supports configurable academic term/semester blocks.
Main features:
- Portable - client only needs a modern web browser
- Point and Click - almost no typing required
- Intuitive - simple, obvious, consistent and user friendly
- Innovative - visual filters for making block/repeat bookings
- Powerful - concurrent users and double booking prevention
- Configurable - local site customization supported
- Useful - built in support for configurable academic term, semester and session blocks
- Free!
Requirements
In order to run or build the Shezhu Resource Sharing System you need some third-party software available on your machine.
Client
The client needs a modern web browser and the best browsers for this application are Firefox, Mozilla (including the Netscape branded equivalent and Gecko derivatives such as Galeon) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The newest versions of all these browsers will work best. This application also works with the Konqueror and Opera browsers but these have some issues which may affect functionality. All browsers need JavaScript enabled. Any of these browsers may not work properly (or at all) depending on the operating system they are running under. Text based browsers (such as Lynx) are not supported.
For a comprehensive list of supported client browsers and operating systems refer to this browser compatibility chart from the most recent release of the application.
Server
The server needs recent versions of the Apache web server and the MySQL database server.
The server has only been tested on Redhat9 and FedoraCore3 Linux/i386 platforms although there is no specific reason why it should not work on other Linux platforms and distributions.
Development
Rebuilding this application from source requires a standard Unix development environment with the sh, make, cc, cpp, sed and awk utilities. Also required are RCS, Perl (5.6+) and the ImageMagick program. Also required is RPM to build a distribution. All these programs would probably come as standard in Linux distributions, other platforms may not have all of them by default.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Apache2 and multi-site installations, internal restructuring, a better installation tree, and improved access control management.

Calendar is a web-based calendar tool that produces pretty, readable calendars. NEW! Rewritten in Java for MySQL! Calendar project began out of frustration with other web-based calendar tools inability to display a readable calendar format. It was very much a project to "scratch an itch" -- to meet an immediate need that the author had. Since then, it has evolved considerably into a very useful tool that produces prettier calendars than those printed by most organizer software.
Main features:
- NEW! Subscriptions can be created to periodically fetch events from remote calendars, just like iCal and Sunbird can do.
- Events on the calendar appear exactly as typed in the admin tool -- the descriptions are not cut off in the display. This makes the calendar just as useful when its printed.
- The entire calendar is rendered in HTML -- no Flash or Java is used.
- Single-day, multi-day and occassional events are all supported. ("Occasional" events are those events that occur multiple times but dont necessarily follow a regular pattern.)
- Repeating events are supported and can repeat on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
- Events may be categorized for easy administration.
- Nearly everything about the display is themable -- colors, fonts, border styles, first day of the week, weekday column widths, categories, etc.
- A calendar may be setup as a "private" calendar, so the user must be logged in to see it.
- NEW! A calendar may be setup as a "semi-private" calendar, so the user will only see the scheduled times but no event details.
- The admin tool is password protected and different users can be assigned different permission levels.
- Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird users can subscribe to the calendar with one click.
- A really bland, unimaginative name makes it easy to discuss this project without being overheard by foreign intelligence agents.
The first version of this software was written in ASP (VBScript) and ran on IIS 4.0 or higher with a database on SQL Server 7.0 or higher. The current version has been completely rewritten in Java to run on Tomcat 5.5 or higher with a database on MySQL 3.3 or higher. The feature set has grown immensely since then. The two versions have no code in common.

MUTE File Sharing is a peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
It compiles as a fast, native application for many platforms (no Java, no Python, etc.).
MUTE protects your privacy by avoiding direct connections with your sharing partners in the network. Most other file sharing programs use direct connections to download or upload, making your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other unscrupulous organizations.
MUTE is based on research, and experiments show that it works quite well. MUTEs ant-inspired routing is light-weight, robust, and adaptive. Results from experiments in real MUTE networks show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest (or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs in MUTEs initial connection to the network upon startup.
- MUTE has also been upgraded to Crypto++ 5.4, so it should now compile using GCC 4.1.

Milo Calendar is a SuperKaramba script that reads the dates stored by KOrganizer and displays them on your desktop in a clear, neat calendar.

The calendar also displays todays date and it can move back/forward months. the descriptions of the events are shown via tooltips.

The images for this theme should be very customizable. In the next versions I will try to make them compatible with rainlendar themes found all over the net!

I must thank DeVoeSquared.com for the iCal module, and rainy (rainlendar) for the theme.

Note: if you have multiple KOrganizer resources, you can change the name of the file that milo calendar reads:

the default is:
reader = iCal.ICalReader(std)
in the dir: ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics
