+## Outlook 365 plugin to integrate CiviCRM in the outlook addressbook
+
+Potential Mentor: Jaap Jansma (CiviCooP)
+
+The aim of this project is to deliver a plugin for outlook 365 so that users of
+outlook 365 can send e-mails to contacts in civicrm. The plugin should do the following at minimum:
+
+* all the contacts in CiviCRM exposed to the outlook address book
+* all the groups and the group membership exposed as groups in the outlook address book
+* above would be done with the restriction that you can only see the contacts and groups which you are allowed to see when you login into CiviCRM
+* outlook address book is read only. Meaning that changes should be made in CiviCRM and become visible in outlook
+
+Additional features could be:
+
+* Acrhive an e-mail into CiviCRM
+* Archive an e-mail into a CiviCRM case
+* Make the addressbook writeable (meaning updated from outlook go to CiviCRM)
+
+
+There is also make it happen going on for this same project: https://civicrm.org/blog/jaapjansma/outlook-365-civicrm-plugin-looking-for-funding

 Discussion:
 As with many open-source web applications, installing CiviCRM can be difficult – it requires installing/configuring
 a series of related services (Linux, MySQL, Apache, an email service, and a CMS). A popular solution to this
 problem is to distribute pre-built virtual machine templates ("appliances" or "boxes").
 Unfortunately, there are many competing virtualization systems – such as Amazon EC2, OpenStack,
