Talking About Linux and Open Source for Public Administrations

SOS Open Source reports: Zarafa
SOS Open Source analyzed Zarafa, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Exchange, maintained by the homonymous company headquartered in Â the NetherlandsÂ (Delft) with offices in Germany and Brasil. TheÂ Zarafa Summer Camp 2011was the perfect venue to share our findings around Zarafa (presentation), if you missed our keynote read below to know more thisÂ open source messaging and collaboration platform.

Zarafa was released as open source about three years ago, but before that it was alreadyÂ considered a viable alternative to Microsoft Exchange, and its code base results mature and stable (information inferred from the publicÂ bug-tracking system).Â A book specialized on Zarafa is on the way,Â case-studies are available (also from large solution providers) along with a number ofÂ forums (even inÂ French andÂ Portoguese).Zarafa popularity compares well with other European competitors, especially in some countries (e.g. , Austria, Germany,Â the Netherlands).
