Novell Releasing Hula and 200,000+ Lines of Code

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-if-statements dept.

H0ek writes "Seems Novell has announced at LinuxWorld Expo that they will be releasing 200,000+ lines of code to the community in the form of a project named Hula(TM). The project is derived from the Novell NetMail product and provides web-based email and calendaring. Seems our boy Nat Friedman has some info on this, too. If you were fortunate enough to get a MyRealBox email account, you will probably know what NetMail is like."

  1. Too much Novell in GNOME? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Hula is just another mail/groupware server from Novell (The others are Open Xchange and GroupWise). And CalDev is just another format, to mix up things, when most open source groupware and mail servers and clients were converging to use GroupDav. But why is GNOME promoting this server and not the other open source servers?

    Check out Planet GNOME and Footnotes and see for yourself how GNOME is being used as a tool to market software that has no direct relationship with GNOME, and does not use GNOME technology. So using GNOME to promote Mono and Evolution is one thing, but as a marketing plataform for unrelated software is another. Where does it end?
