[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the second release candidate (RC2) of Scalable OpenGroupware.org (SOGo).

=3D=3D=3D What is SOGo =3D=3D=3D

SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning.

SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.

SOGo features :

 * Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many thousand users
 * Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the features and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
 * Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lighthing by using the SOGo Connector
 * Two-way synchronization support with any SyncML-capable devices (BlackBerry, Palm, Windows CE, etc.) by using the Funambol SOGo Connector

and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.
