The Five Best Open Source Calendar Servers for Linux

“Finding Linux-based calendar clients, like Evolution or Mozilla
Lightning, is easy — but what about the server-side software?
You’ll find some great calendar servers for Linux, if you know
where to look. From light-weight to heavy duty, Cosmo to Darwin,
we’ve picked five of the best open source calendar servers for

shared calendars common place. Anyone can publish a calendar feed,
confident that everyone on the Web can subscribe to it on the OS
and device of their choosing and stay up-to-date.

your organization look less-than-professional.”
