Looking for "Time Bar"-style workgroup scheduler

A lot of project management and collaboration tools support scheduling 
that automatically looks for time slots where everyone is available. On 
Windows, you have Microsoft's Outlook and Exchange, and on Linux you 
have various different ones with different levels of functionality. 
Evolution seems to have working scheduling, and Thunderbird+Lightning 
has part of the interface completed for their implementation.

However, the Wikipedia article does not mention the software application used, and I can't seem to find any application which does "Time Bar" scheduling, Windows or Linux.
