If you've got time to set some up we'd be happy to work with you on it,
some of the projects we looked at got dropped for various reasons.  SOGo
requires ldap which we don't have, Bedework requires sun's java so it got
dropped.  If you had other specific ones you wanted us to look at please
do update the ticket -

I've never looked for FOSS calendar solutions, I don't think susmit has
either so we're just googling and looking around for solutions that might
work.  susmit's done a great job of getting some of these up, I'm sure he
can get others up too.
