Collabora 3.1 available with EGroupware

by | Mar 14, 2018 | News

Dear EGroupware users,

there are many interesting news to share: 

1. Collabora Online Office 3.1 is now available
2. Collabora trial phase is completed
3. Collabora Webinar with Quick Start Information
4. Early bird booking discount for user days extended until 31 March

1.Collabora Online Office 3.1 is now available

Collabora Online is a powerful LibreOffice-based online office suite that lets you edit documents from your web browser. It is compatible with all major document, spreadsheet and presentation file formats and can be easily integrated into your infrastructure.

The integration of Collabora has made working with EGroupware much easier for many applications. We will be happy to advise you on the further possibilities of the use of collabora online office on our next Webinar. For more information on integrating Collabora Online 3.1 into your own data center, please visit our Collabora page.

The new Version 3.1 includes many bug fixes and improved chart editing.

2. Collabora trial phase is completed

The free trial phase ended on February 28th with a lot of positive feedback.

For all users of the EGrouware cloud in the EGroupware datacenter, the same number of “Collabora Named User” licenses that our customers purchased as “EGroupware EPL Concurrent User” is included. This means that not all users need an additional license. This is a big advantage for many customers. Just contact us if you have any further questions about the licenses or visit the new Collabora page.

The price for a Collabora user license is 4.25 Euro plus VAT per year for schools and non-profit organizations. A commercial license for companies costs 17 Euro per user/year plus VAT and is therefore much lower than a Microsoft Office license, which costs about 200 Euro. More information about Collabora and prices can be found on our Collabora page.

Users of the EGroupware Community Version can also use Collabora Online 3.1. Just contact us for more information.

3. Collabora Webinar with Quick Start Information

What is the easiest way to start Collabora Online and what are the options for EGroupware users?

We are pleased to invite you to a webinar on this subject. In this webinar we will discuss the first steps from commissioning to saving documents. We will also discuss how you can create a PDF form from your document. Birgit Becker will answer the most frequently asked questions from the support area and give many useful tips. Look forward to an exciting webinar.

Very soon we will send an intivation for the online training. In order to better plan the webinar, we would like to know what time (morning or afternoon referring to the german timezome) would be most convienent for you.

EGroupware Security Update 16.1 & Upgrade to 17.1

EGroupware Security Update 16.1 & Upgrade to 17.1

by | Nov 6, 2017 | News

We would like to inform you about the following news:
1. EGroupware security update and bug fix release for versions 16.1 & 17.1 RC
2. EGroupware 17.1 is coming soon.

1. EGroupware Penetration Tests / Code Review / Security Update for 16.1 and 17.1 RC

Marcel Mangold from SySS GmbH plus the whole EGroupware development team spent three days digging through our codebase in search of possible vulnerabilities. Three intensive days with lots of insight into how an attacker thinks and works.

We were able to identify some attack vectors, with our knowledge of the EGroupware codebase combined with Marcels pen testing knowhow.
It proved that the EGroupware security architecture on multiple levels – including our eTemplate system – is already quite good, but we’ll of course continue to improve it and already solved the problems we found with this security release.

We have provided a security and bugfix update for EGroupware.
Especially with regard to security updates, we strongly recommend updating your EGroupware systems.

We do not provide an update for version 11.1 and 14.1 and recommend an update to version 16 or 17.
The security update has already been automatically installed for all customers in the EGroupware hosting of EGroupware GmbH. You are already safe and don’t have to do anything.

2. New  EGroupware version 17.1 is coming soon

Collaboration makes work easier and can save your team a lot of time.
The new function “Collaborative Editing” with Collabora online office and other new functions of the EGroupware will be presented in our webinar on Thursday, 9th of November 2017. (only in german language). The new EGroupware version 17.1 is coming soon. We will inform you about the exact time schedule and how to update to the new version in the next weeks.

Kind regards
