Community Edition

Funambol Community Edition is free open source software that enables you to synchronize data between mobile devices and backend data sources, and to perform push email. It includes built-in functionality to perform mobile cloud sync. The software can also be used to build and deploy mobile data applications and services.

Community Edition is for any organization or person that wants to use the leading open source platform for synchronizing mobile data, that does not need the added functionality and expense of Funambol Carrier Edition. Community Edition consists of several components, including:

A data synchronization (DS) server that works on Linux and Windows
Mobile device clients
Email connector that supports POP and IMAP email systems
Administrator tool
Software development kits and interfaces
Documentation
Community projects, with support for Exchange, Domino and more

Community Edition implements the Open Mobile Alliance standard for Data Synchronization, version 1.2, formerly known as SyncML. This enables Community Edition to automatically synchronize data with mobile devices that have a SyncML client built-in, such as many Nokias, Motorolas and Sony Ericssons, without requiring software to be downloaded to the device.

Licensing and Support

Community Edition is available under AGPLv3. This allows the software to be freely used for many purposes. The most notable exception is that if you change or add to the software and you distribute it or you use it as the basis of a service that is provided over the internet, you must either publish your code or buy a commercial license. Community Edition can be downloaded here.

Community Edition is developed in conjunction with input and help from the Funambol community. It is supported by the community — for more information about support, please visit our Community Support pages.
