No rushed contracts for the Delos Cloud

No rushed contracts for the Delos Cloud

The Federal Chancellery is currently exerting strong pressure on the federal states to conclude immediate cloud contracts with Delos, a German version of the Microsoft Azure Cloud. On 27 June 2024, a corresponding resolution is to be passed at a special meeting of the IT Planning Council.

Despite significant data protection, procurement, security and strategic concerns about Delos and the parallel work of the Federal IT Cooperation (FITKO) on the German Administration Cloud, the aim is to quickly create facts that are irreversible. This is in stark contrast to the goals of the federal government.

Nouveau : Enregistrement du temps de travail et minuterie pour les projets

Le 13 septembre 2022, le Tribunal fédéral du travail allemand (BAG) a décidé que les employeurs en Allemagne sont tenus de mettre en place un système d’enregistrement des heures de travail.

Les clients d’EGroupware n’ont pas besoin de mettre en place ou d’acheter une nouvelle solution pour cela – l’enregistrement des heures de travail est déjà intégré dans la version 23.1.

Immédiatement après s’être connectés, les utilisateurs voient apparaître une boîte de dialogue qui leur permet de commencer leur temps de travail. Un clic suffit, et l’enregistrement du temps de travail s’effectue discrètement en arrière-plan. Lors de la déconnexion, un rappel de l’enregistrement de la durée de fonctionnement apparaît.

Le bouton pour le chronomètre est situé en haut à droite du menu, juste à côté de la fonction de recherche. Un clic sur ce bouton ouvre une boîte de dialogue permettant de mettre en pause, de reprendre et d’arrêter le temps de travail. Vous trouverez ici un autre minuteur pour les travaux liés aux projets. Les deux chronomètres coopèrent avec la feuille de temps d’EGroupware.

Le minuteur de projet s’intègre également à d’autres modules d’EGroupware ; les utilisateurs peuvent, par exemple, le lancer à partir du système de tickets ou du gestionnaire de projet.

Nouvelles fonctionnalités du client de messagerie et du gestionnaire de fichiers

Le client de messagerie d’EGroupware est plus ordonné et plus clair dans son affichage en trois colonnes. En outre, il existe un nouveau widget pour les adresses électroniques. Il transfère les données des courriels vers le carnet d’adresses et ouvre la vue CRM en cliquant sur l’avatar. Autre nouveauté dans l’application de messagerie : les utilisateurs peuvent ouvrir, lire et modifier des documents Office joints directement dans Collabora Online dans le navigateur.

EGroupware 23.1 permet aux clients de la version EPL de définir des quotas dans le gestionnaire de fichiers et de limiter ainsi l’espace de stockage pour les utilisateurs individuels ou les groupes. Cette fonction est particulièrement utile pour les administrateurs de grands environnements qui souhaitent gérer l’utilisation de l’espace de stockage dans les répertoires personnels. En outre, le gestionnaire de fichiers affiche désormais les fichiers récemment téléchargés via des notifications push.

Composants Web et Lit

Ralf Becker, responsable de la technologie et du développement d’EGroupware : “Ces technologies d’avenir garantissent que notre logiciel sera toujours à jour dans cinq ans”.

Les changements en arrière-plan, invisibles pour les utilisateurs, permettent une plus grande convivialité. La présentation des boîtes de dialogue a été améliorée et des structures plus claires permettent de travailler plus facilement avec la solution logicielle. La taille des caractères peut être ajustée, ce qui constitue une étape importante en termes d’accessibilité. Avec cette option, nous lançons également la prise en charge des lecteurs d’écran, prévue pour la prochaine version.

Nos développeurs ont également nettoyé les icônes et les widgets et fourni un meilleur aperçu. À partir de la version 23.1, de nombreuses nouvelles icônes au format SVG permettent une meilleure lisibilité.

Information for Self-Installations

By default, the update to EGroupware 23.1 is triggered by the update of the egroupware-docker DEB/RPM package tonight (03/15-16). If you do not install the package update, there will be no automatic update to the new version.

Here you can find all information about the self-installation via the EGroupware GitHub page and the link to the EGroupware ChangeLog.

New: Working Time Recording and Timer for Projects

On September 13, 2022, the german Federal Labor Court (BAG) ruled that employers in Germany are required to introduce a system for recording working hours.

EGroupware customers do not have to set up or buy a new solution for this – the recording of working hours is already integrated in version 23.1.

Immediately after logging in, users see a dialog that allows them to start their working time. One click is enough, and the working time recording runs discreetly in the background. When logging off, there is a reminder of the running time recording.

The button for the timekeeper is located at the top right of the menu, right next to the search function. Clicking it opens a dialog for pausing, resuming and stopping the working time. Here you will find another timer for project-related work. Both timers cooperate with the EGroupware timesheet.

The project timer also integrates with other EGroupware modules; users can, for example start it e.g. from the ticket system or the project manager.

New Features in Mail Client and File Manager

The EGroupware mail client is tidier and clearer in its three-column view. In addition, there is a new mail address widget. It transfers data from e-mails to the address book and opens the CRM view by clicking on the avatar. Also new in the mail app: users can open, read and edit attached Office documents directly in Collabora Online in the browser.

EGroupware 23.1 allows EPL version customers to set quotas in the file manager and thus limit the storage space for individual users or groups. This is especially beneficial for admins of large environments who want to manage storage use in personal directories. In addition, the file manager now displays recently uploaded files via push notifications.

Web Components and Lit

Ralf Becker, Head of EGroupware Technology & Development: “These future-proof technologies ensure that our software will still be up-to-date in five years’ time”.

The changes in the background, which are invisible to users, enable greater user-friendliness. The layout of the dialogs has improved and clearer structures make it easier to work with the software solution. The font size can be adjusted, which is an important step in terms of accessibility. With this option, we are also launching support for screen readers, which is planned for the next release.

Our developers have also cleaned up the icons and widgets and provided a better overview. As of 23.1, many new icons in SVG format enable better readability.

Success Story: Managed DAVx5 and EGroupware in City Administration Jena

We all know how important it is to be able to access our work data at any time and from anywhere. This was also an important factor in choosing the groupware solution for the Jena city administration. For more than 15 years, EGroupware has been the central solution for team collaboration there. About two years ago, the responsible IT service providers introduced Managed DAVx⁵ [1] for employees’ smartphones. Since then, the app has been synchronizing calendars and address books via CalDAV/CardDAV between EGroupware and the employees’ smartphones. We asked Jena how the changeover worked out and what advantages the new solution [2] offers. Read the full story in our new blog article or meet the developers of DAVx5 at FOSDEM in Brussels.
