[Risberg Ove <Ove.Risberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,


I agree with David, this list is not very active and most things works really well out of the box today.


There are a few areas where there is room for improvement for Enterprise customers with Microsoft dominated infrastructure:

Lync (Skype for Business) - Pidgin SIPE plugin

Office365 integration - Thunderbird and notifications in Unity/Gnome

ActiveDirectory integration - SSSD works really well but perhaps setup and configuration can be made easier with a tool?


Perhaps we can find another way to get some attention for these tools, this list have not been very successful ;)


Best Regards

Ove

Hi all

I haven't worked with these questions for a very long time.  I have no
objection to shutting down the list, since it's not been ... um...
particularly active.

I use Ubuntu every day at work.  We have a great group of people who
work very hard to ensure that we have usable tools, despite not using
Microsoft-based tools.  Most things work these days, fairly easily.

Two activities that we were instrumental in getting going are perhaps
very relevant to people here (if there are any :)) and are important to
most large enterprises using Microsoft stuff. Without them, my life
would be less pleasant.

1. Participating in Lync (Skype for Business) meetings:

https://launchpad.net/~sipe-collab/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

2. Accessing an Exchange or Office365-based calendar in Thunderbird:

https://github.com/ExchangeCalendar/exchangecalendar

All of this is open source and would welcome additional people
interested in helping.

Cheers,

David
