Hi,
The 8th Debian Groupware Meeting[1] was held in the LinuxHotel, Essen,
Germany[2]. We were 10 people altogether.

This is a short overview what we worked on and achieved during the
event:

* SOGo got updated to the latest upstream version in unstable.

* Updated the libwbxml package to the latest upstream release and
   modernized the packaging (the last upload was more than 5 years ago).

* Icedove, Icedove-l10n and Iceowl-l10n got updated to 38.0~b2 (now at
   40.0~b1).

* calendar-exchange-provider got updated to it's latest upstream
   version.

* Zarafa/Giraffe[#658433] got updated to the current 7.2 pre
   release, dbconfig-common support was added. The packaging was
   cleaned up and we made good progress on getting this into unstable.
   Two security issues were found and reported upstream.

* Initial packaging of zarafa-webapp started[#783640] and was
   tested against the above package. No upload to the archive happened
   yet since there were some licensing issues to be resolved and we
   need zarafa in first. Integration with Apache 2.4 was added.

* We revived and uploaded libvmime that was removed from Jessie and
   fixes necessary for zarafa were added.

* Several issues when building OpenChange against recent versions of
   Samba were fixed.

We again had a nice mix of first time Debian contributors, Debian
Maintainers, Upstreams and Debian Developers with lots of room for
discussion, barbecue and pair programming which made this an exciting
weekend.

Cheers,
  -- Guido (on behalf of the Debian Groupware Meeting attendees)
