With the latest release of OS X Leapord being released soon, I thought I would take another look at some of the features of Leapord server. One of the things I’ve been anticipating is the new calendaring server. Apple says that the new server “works well with others,” but maybe not as well as they were first saying. It seems that Apple who was once touting Microsoft Outlook compatibility is now being quite hush about it. Consider this sentence from their old iCal Server features page:
iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for intergrating with leading calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, Mozilla’s Sunbird, OSAF’s Chandler, and Microsoft Outook.
The same sentence recently changed to omit any reference to outlook:
iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for intergrating with leading calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, and popular CalDAV clients from Mozilla, Open Source Application Foundation and others.

For work I’ve been looking into Calendar Servers to see what they are capable of doing in case we want to implement any. We already have an active directory server and mail server, so some of the groupware servers might not be the best fit for us. I’ve found four open source calendar server products, which I plan to research more:
I hope to be able to post more here when I find out more.
