What Outsourcers Can Learn from Open-Source Communities
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, one important lesson that outsourcers can pick up from
| open-source development communities is "the open-source community's emphasis
| on asynchronous methods of communication—e-mail, bug tracker, forum, VCS
| (version control systems) update—over synchronous ones—phone, chat, meeting,"
| points out Josh Berkus, a PostgreSQL core team member and part of Sun's
| open-source database team.

Zimbra Collaboration Server Open Source Edition is a promising low-end package
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're looking to run a serious open source collaboration server, Yahoo's
| Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) should be on your short list. This Web 2.0
| email and groupware server offers AJAX Web-based administrator and user
| interfaces, a variety of useful groupware features, and email import
| functionality.

Yahoo! finally using Zimbra
,----[ Quote ]
| So, is this move with the calendar the first of many? If so, Yahoo! has been
| very quiet about it. Zimbra has been busy as a standalone Yahoo! business,
| continuing to build momentum with its enterprise email and collaboration
| product, replacing Microsoft Exchange at universities, governments, and
| enterprises. Still, I suspect Yahoo! intended for Zimbra to be more than just
| a successful-but-separate division. Hopefully this revised calendar is a sign
| of good (Zimbra-based) things to come at Yahoo!.

Testdriving Zimbra Desktop Mail for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Ever since Yahoo acquired Zimbra, a lot of us were waiting for the next big
| thing in desktop emailing. Recently, Yahoo launched Zimbra desktop, an open
| source email client which aims to increase your productivity by integrating
| an email client, calendar, task list, contact manager and a briefcase, all in
| one slick and easy package.
| It's time to see how well it fares with my current favorite - Thunderbird.

Zimbra's new Desktop: Look ma, no browser!
,----[ Quote ]
| How did Zimbra do this? With Prism, which is a Mozilla project that basically
| lets applications borrow a tightly integrated, stripped-down version of the
| Firefox browser to run as standalone applications. This gives them all of the
| benefits of the browser (and the Web) without the browser artifacts. It's a
| match made in heaven.
