-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 * Package name : imip-agent Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Paul Boddie <p...@boddie.org.uk> * URL : http://groupware.boddie.org.uk/imip-agent * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : agent programs to handle calendar information in e-mail imip-agent is an extension for existing MTAs (mail transport agents) providing extra support for calendaring and scheduling. . * It uses the iCalendar, iTIP and iMIP Internet standards. * It can inspect messages containing calendar objects and extract availability information for sharing and publication. You and your users decide exactly which kind of messages it will inspect, whose messages it will inspect, and for whom no inspection or sharing will occur at all. * It can provide a Web-based interface to calendar information for users who cannot or choose not to use mail software with calendaring support. This is optional and your users can choose to adjust, ignore or disable this functionality. * It supports autonomous entities such as meeting rooms and resources, automatically accepting or declining invitations according to their schedules. You can adjust this behaviour to implement your own policies. . Unlike some monolithic groupware solutions... * It does not require you to change your MDA (mail delivery agent) or your mail storage software, * It does not require your users to change their MUAs (mail user agents). * It does not insist that everybody must store their schedules on a single server in order to collaboratively schedule events. * Instead, imip-agent takes advantage of the decentralized nature of the iCalendar and iMIP Internet standards. * It allows people in your organisation to collaborate with people outside your organisation without insisting that they join your infrastructure or that everybody join some cloud service that keeps everyone's information within a single, typically proprietary, remote service (that may also be potentially vulnerable to intrusion and surveillance). . The role of imip-agent is to bridge the gap between plain e-mail and "full-stack" groupware solutions, thus allowing organisations and individuals to augment their existing infrastructure instead of being compelled to perform costly and unnecessary migrations and infrastructure transformations. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXCj2gAAoJECx8MUbBoAEhlHgP/08OhEaXmxqbZITu/7ZQX/a9 IsLyGGkwq9Vhytf1mjP+WYVYXpK3sCSq8jDy2buRxsHYN6XsLCD8ARgj02RqX/H5 vAIfZPGMNdxm1hAXnGLdfhe+fTmg+17hF4PgAJUitQtqTxXubmsAENK+dijaNBRb xCwhNNSErBIS0KG+5ZFC61zWvrCflug9F74NeVVYJyZqgEX89MaGcbeNZHwIWIPc BeBR8IJcdkQehBCOQZEbiCX6+kQSOaO3IYaQUC/2tGyH/jHBTQaFgTbc/6gRcqz8 KrbncpwyeN66fXoZK8ZITWR7vTZUqm4OmTM6LM0Jqyx0Y5O9uO1wV+lNZeWaUzn4 oXfx0jMfzqh21kJwiAok7GxNoj+Qd+utg/yReYEI71h7KamnDaKkD9AAqPzY1pDS CMv+9PWumiBZ2ni/sDnZNLnz/QFeYH6rFOYbZ0GEFVDszg4iudBc9b2rJAr4AUXY xpkJqUNR56uBJ7ND6t1Gg76bewmhsXpmblXH3iU9u8KmAh04ql8U+mnBvkLB9ba7 KeY7O0ic6HUh9ti+VZNrDzlxxpwcE4zjWZjq3sLTxm7Bim5lVgd7wENl/ZMbMYNX IKXkl8RSXmfA/dUxTxvYS8nL3VAzgZmPEShxcnVuOSx1OBiNCbynZda2YPBv+LDg /JIdg7/la3qAs7nV3LAd =DsIM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
