Re: [Evolution-hackers] Evolution: Taking forward...
I hereby allow you to relicense all the code I wrote for evolution and evolution-data-server under the terms of the LGPL v2 and LGPL v3. This includes the code that supports addressbooks on a webdav server and all other code I have contributed to evolution.

Evolution needs to link with libmapi/samba4 for the new mapi based connector being developed for Exchange 2007.

This also moves us closer to Thunderbird's MPL/LGPL model. We think this is good for Evolution and (of course) we continue to invest in Evolution. We are also working to ensure we have the rights to re-license all of the code. We will do the licensing/header changes as we audit the code ownership situation. It would be really helpful if you can post a public/explicit mail with permissions to do it, or code pointers - if you think you wrote a piece of Evolution code object. We are really excited about this and we feel this would really help Evolution a lot. We need your support now for making this change and to take Evolution to great heights.

[Evolution-hackers] synchronizing evolution instances
Hello, as long as google calendar support seems broken I am searching for an alternative for syncing my gnome-desktop-calendars (home, notebook, work). To fill that hole I had the idea of writing a simple python application that can sync at least the calendars of multiple evolution instances (with different versions if possible). That raises the question of how to access the calendar data from the outside read/write and (and how to determine an order between elements). Especially it would be nice to access the data on a per-event-base and use some evolution API to export into/import from ical format programatically. any thoughts? christoph signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
