Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL
ashmodai9 writes "According to this article on LinuxToday.com as well as this press release directly from their site, Novell announced that its "Connector for MS Exchange Server would be integrated into Evolution 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector 1.4." Apparently, downloads will be available for the current version of Evolution starting May 14th."
Thanks to reader crafterm, a snippet from Novell's Connector website: "With the Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed, Evolution functions as an Exchange client, enabling users to become full participants in company-wide group scheduling and other collaborative tasks. Linux and Solaris users can access public folders, Global Address Lists, email, calendar, task lists, and group scheduling information." Update: 05/11 17:58 GMT by T :
In related news, ChiralSoftware writes "Codeweavers' long-awaited sequel to Crossover 2.1 is here. Just like the old version, the new version lets you install MS Office on Linux desktops. The new version adds support for Outlook XP, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Project."
And there was much rejoicing!!!!

Heh, download it now, because you KNOW Microsoft is going to be pissed.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
But they didn't mention if it also enables users to become full participants in company-wide worm spreading, which is the most expected feature.
It's either an honest mis-click of the mouse, or Timothy wanted to remind everyone of just how GOD-AWFUL UGLY the Apache section color scheme is.

Too late, Emacs has already passed becoming an OS. It is now on its way towards becoming sentient.
Getting tired of Slashdot... moving to Usenet comp.misc for a while.

I read that as "a big stripper", and I was so confused...
sorry, it's near the end of my day & i was catching up on some news (read wasting some time). assuming bill's net worth of say $30 billion & to live next to him, your worth was say 1000th made completely from the $0.05 each 'As an MCSE I know', & you're 40 years old, that means you've heard 'As an MCSE I know' once every 2 seconds from the moment you were born! ouch, i'm very very sorry.
Yes, I have RTFA. Yes, I have a girlfriend. Yes, I'm new here. And no, I don't want a free iPod.
For the same reason that there is no "White Entertainment Network"
You're right. You are NOT explaining it to me and I still don't understand.
