Server Maverick Kolab
Supporting Kolab groupware server in Maverick
This track would be let by the representative from Kolabsys (Paul Adams or Georg Greve)
- Kolab is 100% Free Software and Kolab Systems is keen to work with the Ubuntu Server teams in order to improve the integration of Kolab into Ubuntu Server
- Currently "groupware" is not one of the standard installation types when installing Ubuntu Server. Kolab Systems would like to help make this a reality for the Kolab Groupware Solution.
In this session Kolab Systems will introduce itself to the Ubuntu Server team and a plan for how the interested parties can work together will be drafted.

jib review / 20100526:
* Is there any specific work or deliverable you are targeting?
* Is there any support you require from the server team or wider community?
* If so, please update the whiteboard with the relevant data
Note: Decided to focus on integration with dovecot in this cycle as it can be done with just adding a dovecot plugin - no dovecot patching required - and it's where we need to go in the long run. I think that the only other support that may be required is perhaps help on distro specific documentation.

Note: Emailed Debian uw-imap maintainer about uw-imap patches, but haven't heard back. Kolab Systems is committed to getting all the third party patches upstreamed, if possible, so we shouldn't have to carry these indefinitely.
