FrequentlyAskedQuestions

General

Who started OPS? Func. Internet Integration is the company behind OPS. Func. is a webapplication development company. OPS was born out of an itch that needed to be scratched.

Under what license is OPS distributed? OPS is released under an Open Source license, namely the GPL. This basically means that you can change the sourcecode, provided that you release your changes under the same license. That way, everybody profits from any useful changes that are made.

Is OPS ready for real world deployments? OPS is currently deployed in the corporate environment of Func. Internet Integration. It is working. Our business depends on it. However, it is currently at a version 0.1. We will be adding functionality over time, but currently you can use it as your e-mail, calendaring, timesheets and blog solution.

I want to try it, but I don't want to set up LDAP/IMAP/WWW/J2EE/etc. At some point, we will be providing a demo server. This will have demo data inside it and will be emptied and reseeded nightly. This way you can e.g. install the OpsEmail in your Thunderbird client, or OpsTimesheet in your Sunbird client and start OPS-ing away. Please watch our Sourceforge projectpage where the demo server will be announced.

Do you have a road map? Of course, it is called RoadMap.

Sunbird

Sunbird says: "Could not find the projectguid in the list, contact your system's administrator", what should I do? This could mean one of two things, it could be that you have selected a filter in the OpsTimesheet/OpsCalendar options which causes the project to be invisible. Set the filter to "All" and see if the problem is resolved. Otherwise you are not a member of the project this event belongs to and you indeed should inform your system's administrator.

Reporting

Reporting does not work, and the following error is logged: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.

The timesheet file is in the wrong format. Try something like:

iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 oldfile.ics > newfile.ics
