Is iCal best choice for Non-Profit shared calendar?

Non-profit has need for shared calendar ($$ always an issue). Is a .mac account for each employee really necessary? Multiple users need to be able to access and update the calendar. Any/all thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
iCal does not lend itself to use by multiple users - dotmac syncing is really only for the individual to maintain calendars across many devices, rather than many users on many devices.
In my opinion, you'd be best signing up for a Google Calendar account each and then sharing a calendar between you. If you want this to show up on your mac, you can sync using one of the commercially available apps if you need to edit locally - Spanning Sync springs to mind - or to view in iCal by simply subscribing to the Google Calendar.
You'll be able to get help on all this from the Google forums.
Good luck!

  • Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

    hi
    we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
    Requirements
    + all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
    +handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
    + the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
    Current Solution
    at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
    - allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
    - all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
    - you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
    the problem however is that the users also need to access this...

    Hi Aleksei,
    I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
    A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
    Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
    But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
    to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/03/21/preserve-mailbox-data-for-ediscovery-using-inactive-mailboxes-in-exchange-online.aspx
    Anyway, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. For more details about your question, I would suggest you post in the dedicated forum of
    Exchange Online, where you can get more experienced responses:

  • License for "non profit organisations"

    Hi Kodo Developer,
    my native language is german - so please excuse any curios diction...
    I'm working with Kodo since my degree dissertation in December 2001.
    Your work and the surrounding topics about object/relation-mapping was
    the root of the matter, so thanks to all people, who mangaged to get
    Kodo working. Especially thanks for your help in the newsgroup many mothes
    ago!
    As i mentioned: Kodo was part of my dissertation, which comprised a
    midrange
    project to store and retrieve data of corneas and their donors. The
    ophthalmic clinic (one of the bigest in Germany) is depend on my work,
    because clinics in
    Germany are suppost to be non profit and so they depend on the money they
    get from department of health. And as you may know the finacial situation
    in this sector is very bad. This is one of the reason why my work for
    this project is for free! So let me ask you: is there any way to get Kodo
    not for free (of course!) but for less than the full license price? Is it
    possible to buy a "No Deployment"- License - just for the current project?
    I dont now if its possible to avoid any use outside this project - but i
    assure so that i will not use this special license in other projects.
    Maybe Solarmetric is selling academicaly license?
    So please think about my petition - the clinic is a non profit
    organisation!
    But let me be more technical:
    I'm using for busines-classes no ide - just ant (apache sf) as build tool.
    The database is PostgreSQL and MySQL. For testing i use the database from
    enhydra. In the Future there is the plan to use this solution to exchange
    cornea and donor data between several clinics so there is the need for
    the distributed (enterprise) version.
    In the end let me thank you all once again for implementing the jdo
    specification!
    Best regards, Claudius Gr____ver
    PS: When i employed (searching still) i will any time suggest my employer
    to use Kodo!

    Hi Claudius,
    We most definitely have a Academic Program for teachers and researchers. In
    addition, we have put together a program for non-profit organizations as
    well. For more information and an application for the program, please

    Thank you for the kind words about Kodo JDO. I don't know if you've had a
    chance to download Kodo JDO 2.3.1, but we are very excited about the changes
    in this most current version of Kodo JDO that includes a preview release of
    our reverse schema mapping tool.
    I have cc'd [email protected] to make sure we get you the right

    Hello All,

    Thanks for your help.
    DG.... Well after seeing other replies .... I think you need a bit of encourgement ... so good luck.
    I have not actually taken this even.
    You MAY glean a little from the JG videos .... (but be aware many will ay it tells them nothing) .... [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/08/0096.html]
    What follows is a little of what you may expect ...
    The questions are obviously multiple choice .... at OCA level most will probably indicate the number of correct answers required (as opposed to select all correct answers ... expect to see more of those at OCP/OCE). A few may be drag and drop or something similarly fancy. Some will offer exhibits to be viewed. However there should be enough time for the reasonably able candidate to complete the exam hilst reading questions carefully if they do not daydream.
    Most production exams have a set of 10 sample questions (IMHO often not of the highest quality and I am inclined to refer to them as the beta (program) rejects .... questions that didnt make it from the beta exam to the production exam .... and I don't really a justification for that). No such luck with 1z0-144 as far as I can se though.
    This is a modern exam; and the questions will probably tend to reflect that. The questions will be most like 1z0-051 questions than 1z0-007 questions.
    Therefore the sample questions from 1z0-051 may give a simple insight into the variation of question types o expect [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=303&p_certName=SQ1Z0_051]. (Be aware this is a very small ... and possilby skewed ... sample).
    This is probably not what you are looking for .... but is about as far as I can go.
    Anyone who has taken the exam is bound by non-disclosure agreements and there is very little anyone can sensibly say without possilby getting themselves into trouble.

  • How to use Quickbooks for non-profit on mac

    I run a non-profit and need to use QUickbooks for non-profit but this version of quickbooks is only made for PC. Is there a way I can run this software on my mac? Does Virtual PC software for macs work well? ANyone run Quickbooks for PC on a mac? Is there any other way to do this?

    Artist --
    Welcome to Apple Discussions !
    I would highly recommend that you get the Mac version.
    You can find more about it here
    http://quickbooks.intuit.com/
    Virtual PC slows everything down tremendously.
    Plus, it opens your Mac to be vulnerable to viruses.
    Get the Mac Version.
    It's worth the investment,
    in my humble opinion.
    Hope this helps,
    and sending you all the best wishes
    for your non-profit.
    I'm a former nonprofit staffer, so I know what you're up against.
    Onwards & upwards !

  • Oracle 9i database server license for non-profit organization

    If I am posting this thread in the wrong forum, please let me know where I should post it.
    I just want to ask if Oracle has discount license for non-profit organization. I want to use Oracle 9i DB Server.
    If there is information like that, please let me know. I'd really appreicated it.

    The express edition will only use 1 cpu EVEN on multi-cpu servers.
    Just food for thought ... Not saying this is your case, but I have seen a lot of NPOs that have bought 2CPU boxes and loaded the application and the database on the same box. That means the app is sharing the machine, and only a part of the machine is going to the database. A cheaper solution in that case is to use two 1-CPU machines and get 1 CPU license for Oracle. And the reduced feature set of XE might be enough.

  • Best choice for a date column in forms

    Hello,
    I want to know what is the best choice for a date field that the user have to enter manually. I read on a other post that a calender control is not directly implemented in forms 9i. So what is the best choice to be "user friendly" with a date field in a form?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Don't know if this would be much use to you, but I wrote this function 'Check_Date' a while back to check whether the user had typed something which could be interpreted as a date. You'd make your date field into a Text Item, and include a call to this function (which could be in your form, or in a library) in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger on the item, ie:
    IF NOT check_date(:ITEMS.date_item1, NULL, NULL) THEN
        RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    END IF;This would mean that the user could type 'T' or '*' for today, '+1' for tomorrow, '-7' for one week ago, or the date in a variety of formats. When they leave the field, the function tries to resolve what they've typed into a date, and sets the field to a date in the correct format.
    ('Display_Alert' is just a function to display a named alert with a message.) It can also be used to check that the date entered doesn't fall outside upper and lower bounds. Code follows:
    FUNCTION Check_Date (text_in        IN OUT VARCHAR2,
                         lower_bound_in IN DATE,
                         upper_bound_in IN DATE)
    RETURN BOOLEAN IS
    first_letter      VARCHAR2(1)  := SUBSTR(text_in, 1, 1);
    date_ok           BOOLEAN;
    this_date         DATE;
    date_diff         NUMBER(8);
    output_format     VARCHAR2(12) := Get_Application_Property(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT);
    TYPE date_format_table_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(12)
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    date_format_table    date_format_table_type;
    BEGIN
        --Set up table of date formats in order they'll be tested for
        date_format_table(1)  := 'DD-MON-RRRR';

        date_format_table(3)  := 'DD-MM';
        date_format_table(4)  := 'DD-MON';
        date_format_table(5)  := 'YYYY-MM-DD';
        date_format_table(6)  := 'YYYY-MON-DD';
        --Use of T, or * for today's date...

  • Best choice for a proxy server on NT?

    Hi, I'm wondering what the best choice for a proxy server is on NT?
              Currently I'm running a 2 WL server cluster, but this will grow rapidly. If
              all of the pages that I will be handling will be .jsp (with the exception of
              1 or 2 servlets), which is the best configuration (performance wise) to go
              with?
              Should I use a Weblogic Servlet, NSAPI, or ISAPI to do the proxiing. My
              guess was that IIS would perform the best on an NT machine and that it would
              not be as large as a memory hog as Weblogic would be to simply run as a
              proxy. Is there a significant amount of latency produced by the ISAPI
              bridge?
              Any suggestions?

    JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site

    I would like to have Apache as front end doing load balancing, Tomcat as server and JSF.
    All ideals and suggestions please.
    Thanks

    One more question.
    Since Tomcat has this setup.
    create table users (
    user_name varchar(15) not null primary key,
    user_pass varchar(15) not null
    create table user_roles (
    user_name varchar(15) not null,
    role_name varchar(15) not null,
    primary key (user_name, role_name)
    It seems like a huge pain to keep a user with every role. What happens when you have 500,000 users???
    Also, the authentications on every page....would it be easier to login once and setup a session bean check that on with the page header ??
    Thanks

  • What is the best choice for our project? Thanks

    We are a startup company and developing a webiste with two mobile app.
    We use PHP in the server side and write with a private framework.
    We don't want to use any host-specific APIs so that we can move to other cloud server easily.
    In our case, can we use Website option in Azure?
    If the answer is yes. What is the best choice for us, VM or website? We need scalability in the future.
    Thanks!

    hi,
    It depends on your requirement. Base on my experience, VM or website all could meet your requirement. From your description, You could use azure website to host your php website (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/).
    And you could use website auto scale feature in the future. I suggest you could see their comparison (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
