Ximian Connector

Ximian’s latest product, the Connector extension for

Evolution, sees the company venturing into new

territory. Connector is Ximian’s first commercial end-

user product and joins existing commercial services to

help secure long-term financing for freeware

products such as the Evolution suite.

In addition to supporting iTip and iCal, Connector

allows Evolution to communicate with existing

Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers (5.5 is not

supported). You can use Connector to schedule

group appointments with Outlook users, and access

mail or calendar entries directly on your Exchange

servers, however, you will need to enable Web Access

for Outlook, as Connector requires the Web interface

to access some information. You can use Red Carpet

to install the Connector, although this does entail

purchasing a separate license for $69 (with volume

discounts available for 10 or more licenses). The

license will be mailed to you, and can be activated

directly in Evolution (version 1.0.3).

and ensuing “body part” signings.

GNOME 2 was the major topic with numerous

libraries presented from the developer’s viewpoint,

but the conference also provided a platform for

technologies such as the GNU PDA Environment that

are not directly related to GNOME. Miguel de Icaza

also held several talks on Mono, a .NET framework

implementation, and was optimistic that GNOME will

profit from Mono in the future. Various discussions

on the future of GNOME led to plans for easier

installation routines and more tightly integrated style

guides. The whole event was captured on numerous

digital cameras. Sample pictures can be seen at the

links below.
