Bo Thorsen - Klaralvdalens Datakonsult AB

Kroupware

Paper (DVI) and Paper (PDF) and Paper (TeX)

The BSI of the German goverment contracted three companies to produce a free software groupware solution for them. The company I work for - Klaralvdalens Datakonsult AB - got the responsibility to implement the KDE client in the project. In mid-october, when the project was about one month old, I took over the role of project leader on the client, and have since then been the main developer on this part of the project.

In the talk I will tell the story of the project and show the capabilities of the solution. I will give a short overview of the server part that Erfrakon implemented. I will present some relevant background into the biggest technical design decisions we made, and an overview of what have been achieved. Finally I will give an overview of what happens to the project in the future and focus on the development that is happening for KDE 3.2 in this area.
