Editing SOGo (section)

==History==
The Skyrix Web Groupware was a web based calendaring, contact and project management system developed by the SKYRIX Software AG in Magdeburg, Germany (~1998-2008). It was based upon the SOPE application server (an open source derivate of [[WebObjects]] developed by the same company). That system was later released as an OpenSource project under the name "OpenGroupware.org".
Even though the name was derived from the [[OpenOffice.org]] project, it had no actual ties to the OpenOffice project.

OpenGroupware.org was functionally rich but very limited in scalability (worked for hundreds of users). As part of a large customer project which had the requirement to serve around 60,000 users, "Scalable OGo" ("SOGo") was created in 2004.<ref name=":0" /> "SOGo" lacks a lot of the functionality of OpenGroupware.org, but kept key calendaring, address book and email features. All designed to be highly scalable, and most importantly: to conform to open standards like [[CalDAV]] and GroupDAV.

The SKYRIX company eventually refocused on other endeavours. Inverse Inc picked up and continues to maintain and enhance SOGo, while adding a set of functionalities. Inverse, based in Canada, packaged and released version 1.0 of SOGo in 2009.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sogo.nu/news/2009/sogo-10-rc9-released.html | title=SOGo 1.0 RC9 released }}</ref> In 2022, Inverse made a deal with [[Alinto]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.alinto.com/sogo-opensource/ | title=SOGo Open source }}</ref>
