[GRLUG] [OFFLIST] Linux PIM

[Patrick Goupell]

No screenshots.  I have never really taken any.

The ldap just sounded like something interesting to do.  These days I am 
just trying to keep busy.  Used to do contract programming but that has 
kind of dried up lately.

The current datastore is sqlite3.  I was thinking of using mysql.  Then 
I could make it a multi user app, something a business might be able to use.
