Hosting our own calendar, to be shared within a team? [closed]

Hosting our own calendar, to be shared within a team? [closed] I work in a small (3 people) team and we need to be able to share our calendar i.e. to see periods when we are busy/free perhaps to organise meetings and so on.

I recommend Knutsen's WebCalendar - I've been using it for years. It's all PHP & MYSQL; completely open source. It's completely configurable. Everyone I've suggested to has adopted it.

The open standard for calendaring is CalDAV (RFC4791). Hopefully you can find a server and client to suit you (also see DAViCal server's client list).

Darwin CalendarServer with Mozilla Sunbird?

"Do you need email integration?

If not, and you're just after a lightweight PHP app that lets everyone manage the calendar through a browser, then the following might fit the bill:

PHP-Calendar
Easy PHP Calendar

On the other hand if you do need to integrate with email, you will most likely need to use a CalDAV or iCal calendar server.

DAViCal will work with Mozilla, Evolution, Chandler, iCal and iPhone.

Another alternative might be to take a look at some broader CRM packages, as many of these incorporate calendar servers. This would be a wasteful approach if you have no intention of using any of the other features, but if you'd get any mileage out of any other CRM'y stuff (contact management, activity management, issue tracking, time tracking, inventory management, etc) then it could work for you. Sugar CRM seems to be the market leader and is PHP based though I'd recommend taking a look at OpenCRX."
