The beach house gang is working on a project and we aren't too proud to solicit help. Mozilla has an e-calendar called Sunbird and we are trying to use it over a local network for small businesses and residents with more than one computer. Haven't you ever wanted to sync your desktop and laptop with your daily schedule, agenda, conquest, etc.? Don't let this scare you. If you are interested in learning a bit about networking, opensource, local file sharing, Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla, etc., this may be a good way to get those feet wet.
We realize that a WebDAV server can be used, but would like to keep this on a local network level. Here's another pertinent gem -> Sunbird 0.2 sharing. Thank you Matt Hawley for a great informative article. The whole purpose of this effort is to post to a centrally located calendar/schedule from several different workstations so everyone can see the daily schedule progressing or digressing. There are many applications out there that suffice, but the expense is usually a considerable amount. Anyone have viable alternatives? We need applied applications because this thing has been googled to death. Please contact thru email or comments if you are interested in being a part of this development group. Several local clients are involved and will advise as far as content desired. The alpha test will be done on the beach house network. A good time will be had by all.
Since the shameless mode is prevelant this morning let me solicit more help. Cybersouth - from the Saltillo Beach House will be two years old April 14, 2005. Everyone is encouraged to visit often and tell your friends, family, etc., to stop by as well. So close to that 60,000 mark and very little time to make it. By chance, we may find something really hot like bashing the spyware jerks with 'fixes'. Might even call up that cyberjinn Hamboni from his resident bigfoot scsi hard drive acting as a door stop to see if he will do battle with the local possum horde that is taking over the neighborhood. Let me just say that this has been an absolute hoot and your responses have been awesome. Even the anonymous Apple dude flaming has been fun in a weird sorta' way.
