| Bongo is a project to create fun and simple mail & calendaring
| software. As well as providing a well-featured but extensible set
| of server software, it also comes with a user-friendly web interface.

Novell dropped Hula a few months ago, probably because it competed with
Microsoft's Outlook/Exchange quite directly.


Another project that went Novell-independent:

[compiz] update on xdevconf07 and beryl situation

,----[ Quote ]
| I had the chance to talk to Quinn Storm from the beryl project during
| xdevconf. I would have hoped that the current situation with beryl could
| be improved but it seems like Quinn at least isn't interested in that.
| However, after talking to Quinn it's very clear to me that the fork was
| partially motivated by assumptions that were wrong. 
| 
| One assumption is that compiz is some kind of Novell controlled project
| that Novell will move in whatever direction it wants. This is completely
| wrong. I started the project and no one at Novell has ever told me in
| which direction it should go.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Beryl includes temporary solutions and workarounds that paper over
| issues in the overall infrastructure. I've been very unwilling to
| include such things in compiz as I believe that it hurts the open source
| desktop as it hides the real issues and I don't want to do that for my
| own projects benefit. Helping other projects by fixing issues where they
| should be fixed is how we make the open source desktop unbeatable.
| Temporary solutions can be maintained outside the official tree or in
| branches for those who need them.
