I'm switching my calendars/contacts from SOGo to ownCloud.

I've been using SOGo for ~3 years. I set it up when ownCloud was still pretty new, and the calendar didn't quite feel mature enough, and SOGo was focused on Thunderbird integration.

It's served me well, but ownCloud has a ton of momentum now, I'm already running it for other things, and it just seems way easier to manage. I borked my SOGo calendar on Saturday -- not SOGo's fault at all, and I have backups, but... I can't even figure out how to easily restore a backup for a primary calendar! I can't even delete or clear it. And I don't feel like I know or understand how SOGo is running, or where/how data is being stored (compared to ownCloud, which is familiar to me as a PHP application)... Meanwhile, ownCloud has a great web UI (I was using CalDAVzap because SOGo's web interface was really awkward), and a ton of momentum, and it seems way easier to manage and share calendars.

So, rather than restoring my backups to SOGo, I think I'm just going to move my calendar and contacts (as well as my wife's and parents') from SOGo to my ownCloud install. That seems like a better bet for the future.
