OSAF would like to welcome Bryan Stearns who joins our apps team as Software Design Engineer. He will be working on CPIA and focusing on Chandler's Detail View for the 0.5 release.

You can see more information on Bryan and the other OSAF staff on our People page.

We have opened a search for someone to join the OSAF team as Software Developer for the Services Working Group. This person will own to own the design and implementation of Chandler sharing and publishing. Chandler clients share arbitrary content items that have extensible schemas, with other Chandler clients, by synchronizing items to a WebDAV server collection.

Please see OSAF's Employment page for details on this and the other positions we have open.

We pleased to announce the release of Chandler 0.4! The high-level goal of the 0.4 release is to be "experimentally usable" for a few key end-user tasks.

In 0.4, you can:
-- Create, edit, and view PIM Items: Email, Calendar Events, Task, and Notes.
-- Add or change the Task, Email, or Event properties of any PIM item, in a process we call "stamping".
-- Share collections of items (including calendars) via a WebDAV server.
-- Perform very basic email and calendar operations (e.g. sending and receiving email, or creating and modifying calendar events).

In addition, the 0.4 Release provides:
-- Sending and receiving of mail over a TLS/SSL connection (a fully secure TLS transport is not implemented yet)
-- A basic UI landscape: Sidebar, Tabs, Summary & Detail views

You can download the release for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, at:

For more information you can see the Chandler 0.4 Read Me document.

There is also a Guided Tour document that walks you through some of the new features in 0.4 like stamping and sharing.

Enjoy!
