You can try phpGroupware or one of its spin offs like axisGroupware. 
Also, I have been playing alot with Mozilla Thunderbird (mail client) and
Mozilla Calendar and am rather impressed.  I think you can create calendar
servers and do some cool stuff.  I would love to see that in action.  Why?
 Standards.  It is all iCal based.  I believe we need standard groupware
interchanges and Mozilla seems to be working towards that.  I would love
to help if you need it.  I am seeing more of a need of this and would like
some experience in the deep trenches of it. :)
