chat forum

Hi all

I just wanted to hear what software you would suggest for internal chat systems.

There is a lot of good software for forums (like this one) and for instant messaging (like jabber using XMPP protocol).
I am looking for a more facebook-like system like Microsoft has Yammer.

We are you installing in your companies?
Do you of good (FOSS) social collaboration software?

Regards

I have no experience with this, but Kolab seems to be very popular.

Try citadel

retroshare might be an option too (i would prefer citadel, but you might give retroshare a chance).

Got to wiki.debian.org and enter "leaving the cloud". A similar subject.

@thanatos_incarnate: Thanks for the suggestion
I have worked with kolab and I like it. It has some nice integration. It is an usermanagement, email, calendar and such suite which I already have.

@schnuller:
Very cool

I ought to have guessed that debian was doing something like this

I will look into friendica (http://friendica.com) - it seems to be the thing I am looking for.

Thanks.

Duh. Good catch. I had something in mind, but it didn't enter the working part of the brain (early here).


((( citadel is really cool too, though. It is packaged for Debian, friendica is only intented to package ? Not that installing sql-server-stuff would be outstanding difficult if it is not in the repos ... )))
