Zimbra Collaboration Suite Launched

commonchaos writes "Recently a company named Zimbra has come out of nowhere and released an open source Exchange replacement. The exciting part is a front end that uses AJAX. There is an impressive flash demo, you can download the source or try out a "live" version of the code yourself." Interestingly, this open source system seems to be very similar to the recent Yahoo announcement covered on Slashdot.

    But I find it appropriate that this article is immediately above "Why Students Are Leaving Engineering"

    I used to work with the founder of Zimbra at another company, and his constant and relentless political moves to further his career at the expense of others was really tiring... and made a lot of good engineers bitter and tired.

    Yeah it's dog-eat-dog world, you have to look out for yourself, blah-blah-blah, whatever... but the long hours of engineering don't make me want to leave, it's guys like that.

    With that said, the product looks okay, best of luck to them.
