Hehe - I know it's a bit of a bastard child, but what options are there other than Exchange?

Apache/webdav
Local personal calendars (outlook, sunbird, etc)
OpenExchange
A number of open source webcals
A bunch of proprietary cal servers

I know this is completely off topic for the FDS list, but I don't know of any good server based ldap integrated calendar solutions out there that allow fat clients, free/busy lookup, etc that compares to Exchange, and that often makes it really hard to convince people to accept a mail solution that is not Exchange, which in turn leads to AD as a directory service (my round about way to make it "on topic" :) )...

You are exactly right. Red Hat is trying to figure out what to do with those products. We don't want to just dump a pile of code on the OS community. For one, the code has some third party stuff that we need to replace with OS components. For another, these products are very hard to build outside the "walled garden". Lastly, there have been some changes to standards and markets since these products were actively developed that need to be accounted for. But you better believe that Red Hat knows how valuable these products could be to the market and the OS community.
