Zusammenfassung
The BSI of the German goverment contracted three companies to produce a free software groupware solution for them. Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB got the responsibility to implement the KDE client in the project. The author is the project leader and main developer on the client part of the project.
The talk will tell the story of the project, and show the capabilities of the solution. It will give a short overview of the server part that Erfrakon implemented. It will present some relevant background into the biggest technical design decisions that have been made, and an overview of what has been achieved. Finally there will be 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.
This is not a technical talk, and everyone will be able to follow it. It will be demonstrated that there now finally is not only a working free software groupware solution - something that has been missing for a long time - but also what the latest and possibly greatest addition to KDE may be.
