As last year the Debian Groupware Meeting was held in the LinuxHotel, Essen, Germany[1]. This is a short summary what happened during the weekend: * Since Debian is gaining more and more extensions for the Icedove, Icewease, Iceowl and Iceape the Mozilla Extension Maintainers Team was brought to live[2]. This will hopefully ease the handling of transitions to new major versions and improve collaboration. * Speaking about major versions: a new Thunderbird release is around the corner and so we spent some time on rebranding Thunderbird snapshots to icedove-3.0. This work was based on Ubuntu's daily Thunderbird builds [3]. Preliminary packages as well as updated extensions are available for testing. Those were uploaded to the pkg-mozext repository. See [2] again for download instructions and [4] for a list of TODOs. Help on this is very welcome. * As to the server side: updated kolab 2.2 packages were uploaded to unstable and some of the missing dependencies for packaging newer versions of calendarserver were updated in experimental. * the groupware overview page from last year was updated[4]. It's the place in the Debian Wiki you want to look at to find out about supported features (or the lack thereof), client integration and packaging status of groupware server and client packages in Debian. Due to some unforeseen circumstances the number of participants was quiet low (3) this year an we hope to see more of you next year around.
