"Nearly" doesn't cut it. The success is in using a calendar provider that works perfectly with ActiveSync *so far* and is 100% free open source on the server side, while also making the data available to CalDav/CardDav/xDav which I would prefer, and packaged for Debian (just recently): http://kolab.org/news/2013/03/19/kolab-3-beta-released-debian-packages-ready > >> I tested the last 5 versions of so of OwnCloud with terrible results: >> very involved configuration, data corruption and files sync conflicts >> were common. > I'm now using Owncloud for calendar/contacts sync (and a bit of files > sharing) and it really works well for me, except that it's slow as hell > on my 1.2Ghz Dreamplug. Anyway, it gets the job done and has a nice web > interface. Perhaps we use it differently? I deal with several users, sharing, and using both the web interfaces and carddav/caldav. I gave up on reporting bugs, unfortunately filing bug reports on that project hasn't been very useful.

If I was working on this urgently, that is where my focus would be.
