-Although you find this in the Applications section, this is certainly not an application. It is actually a complete solution consisting of the integration of several applications. I call it //Independence// because this makes you a little more independent from providers like Google and their data mining.

-This solution will enable you to have a central calendar and address book (contact list) and share them between your desktop installations of Thunderbird, the web interfaces of Nextcloud/ownCloud and Roundcube and finally even your (Android) mobile phone.

-  * All steps described here are based on Nextcloud. At the time of writing this is still interchangeable with ownCloud, but that could change in future.\\ Personally I prefer Nextcloud because some nasty ownCloud bugs are fixed in Nextcloud and also it offers some more nice features.
+  * The applications "Contacts" and "Calendar" need to be activated (they were deactivated by default on my initial installation).

   * It is advisable (though not necessary) to do some [[https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/installation/server_tuning.html?highlight=performance%20tuning|performance tuning]].
