Umm. I've been writing a solution for Evolution that enables outlook and evo users to book meetings via each other's freebusy URLs. A free/busy URL is part of RFC2445 and is implemented in Outlook and Evolution. Evolution takes it further by storing it's calendar data in an iCalendar format text file. The thing they miss is to publish from that calendar to a web or ftp server the free/busy information, thats where my project comes in.
JiCal Works OK, I've had loads of posts from weird parts of the world verifying it from Outlook. This release was for production stability, the next is for performance (currently processes about 45 user's calendars a second): http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jical For you, there is possibly the auto-publish free busy in Outlook. You need the 'web publishing wizard' whatever that is. Effectively that will publish the freebusy file to whichever web server or ftp server you choose with you chosen periodicity. I've done the same thing for evolution in Linux. For further info, look at these files in your web browser: http://www.eurekait.com/sfg.ifb - this is the freebusy file generated from evo's iCalendar file. In short it's all the (ficticious) times booked for this guy including the repeat events such as weekly meetings. http://www.eurekait.com/sfg.vcf - this is a 'vcard' that can be loaded into outlook, palm desktop, evolution etc etc and contains the free/busy url. Using the vCard you can then book meetings with this person via their web server's free busy file (sfg.ifb) So yes, there is a solution on Linux for this issue. Feel free to email me with Qs.
