Server apps are awesome.  What better way to recycle on old PC than to hook it up to the network, install a couple applications, and make it work for you! 

The only thing that makes me love server side software more is when they offer community editions so you can try them, tweak ‘em and build them out.

Rendezvous is one such server-side application.  It’s an ‘Enterprise Collaboration Suite’ meant for project teams and scattered workforce members, but it’s features are something bloggers or ambitious professionals might use.

It features an:

  • Email client
  • Calendar
  • Project Management
  • Document Management
  • Contact Management
  • RSS/Atom Feed Reader

So rather than pay two or three services for similar functionality, install this app on your server and use it for free!
