Re: [AG-TECH] Seeking Message/Calendaring System

This one is based on OpenID and supports Gravatar, in case that means anything to you... I think those are both good things...
 
It's not exactly a calendar, but you can send and receive invitations, and it keeps track of events.  The Google Maps feature is probably not most useful for something like AccessGrid, but maybe so, can use this system to organize AccessGrid venues for the event and also invite Ordinary Homo-Sapiens to your meeting location.
 
Might have to generate one event per venue for that, probably not too much of a hassle so long as there is a meeting organizer paying attention to each venue (probably).  That would fix the time-zone issue for anyone though!
 
This is probably not exactly what you're looking for, but interesting features.

37Signals puts out a bunch of products you might want to look at, very simple to use... Backpack has a paid version that includes a calendar, and some of their other products (Campfire, Basecamp) probably have a nice calendar that you would like to demo or use.

Your main requirement is that your tool must not include mail?  I see Atlassian Confluence seems to work with that goal, and there is a Calendar plugin also.

Confluence looks extremely powerful, haven't had a chance to test this yet.  Please post your findings to the list!

I'd recommend a portal solution, e.g. Sakai ( http://www.sakaiproject.org/). Not only would this give you a shared calendar, but you'd get other useful tools too (if you wanted them), such as shared document stores, wikis and even portal Access Grid ( http://www.rcs.manchester.ac.uk/research/PAG)!

Subject: [AG-TECH] Seeking Message/Calendaring System

 

Hello AG Tech,

 

In reference to our access grid activities, can anyone recommend a good online calendaring/message system along the lines of Google Calendar?  We would like to be able to host something that does not include mail.  AG Scheduler is wonderful for reserving events; we would like to have a system that would allow our group(s) to keep in touch and informed of our schedules to manage our resources better. 

 

Thank you,

 

John
