Novell Dumps the Hula Project

asv108 writes, "On the Hula general mailing list today, it was announced that Novell is no longer providing full-time developers to Hula. While the project will continue, it appears that Novell is not committed to developing a viable open-source alternative to MS Exchange. The Hula project was announced in February 2005 with much fanfare."

    You are pathetic. You must lead a lonely and unfunny life. Perhaps you should meet this guy and start a relationship.

    Feel free to not to post here ever again. I can start a petition if you wish.

    Thanks for posting, it validated my disdain towards the average person.

    Nothing prevents you from spending the mass amounts of money you have and supporting Hula Bruce!

    You're just going after Novell to make more of a name for yourself...and honestly, getting a bit tired of your rhetoric.

    if you don't see the connection i suggest you might be mentally retarded. i shall explain it in the simplest of terms for your slow brain to grasp. Novell strikes deal with MS -> Novell drops exchange competitor. hope 2 steps aren't too much for you to handle.

    As a company, they should be doing everything they can to port their profitable apps to the major platforms out there.

    They are. Let's count:

    1) Windows

    Wait, I'm not sure if I got that right; let's count again.

    1) Windows

    "But wait," you mewl, "Linux is much, much, much, much better than Windows! Can't it play too?" Linux is popular to three groups of people:

    1) Those with a political ax to grind
    2) Those with no money to run with professionally developed and supported alternatives
    3) Those who wish to create an identity solely by being different for the sake of being different

    And that does not a "major platform" make. Slashdot ain't the real world, Buddyroo.
