Company Telligent, American software developer for social networks, announced today that bought all of the assets associated with the project, the company Zimbra VMWare (which, in turn, at the time the company bought Zimbra Yahoo).
Telligent company claims that the use Zimbra will allow them to create an integrated platform for modern communication in an environment like e-mail and social networks. kijji It is worth noting that Zimbra already offers kijji integration with social kijji networks directly from the mailbox.
Nevertheless, the main products used Telligent platform Microsoft. Net database and Microsoft SQL Server, so integration with Zimbra, which is built on open source software stack technology, looks challenging.
Patrick Brandt, CEO Telligent, said in his address that the company will continue its policy of support for free software, and will not change the licensing terms for existing and future customers. In addition, the project is expected to actively participate all the same VMware and Yahoo, a stake in the Zimbra for its enterprise products.

Not. This is understandable. Ie crush ACT shny competitive proprietary project, you can. Thus it is possible to stop the development, having beaten interest / sense to develop. But raw nobody closes and can not close: somewhere they will, therefore, kijji it is not death, but only suspended animation, because if someone wants to resurrect and continue to develop - a trick
There are plenty of examples of what it is unrealistic. Because need hard work organization, and free nobody will do. The problem is not so much the code but in the presence of developers who want to eat too.

moreover, nothing to Zimbru not be the only thing that surprises me is the company that bought it - these guys are tied to. net and wind, then suddenly, java and other opensource - is not clear. Now, if Beanie bought Zimbru - it would be a great addition to its portfolio
Zimbru poor thing goes hand because the model came knocking kijji them silly. cover a portion of the code with a bit more tasty features done - for many is fundamentally not pay. I had to do the same as other normal opensorsnye firms that are doing quite well - all open and sell support, integration and customization.
Telligent - not a troll and not a dummy firm and very real company with several successful kijji products. Founder - comes from Microsoft, kijji but it has little meaning in our time, when the former mikrosoftovtsy sit on the high ground in the red hat, and vice versa. Business is business
No, it does not. Nokia in any way with Microsoft will not compete, quite the contrary. they just took the wrong decisions enough to pass up the market and lose speed in the race for market mobiles. As well as Blackberry. or both at the time of short stories. or DEC. or ... any number of examples actually
Higher flight: Radhesh Balakrishna kijji (ex employee of MS) - Director of Development of technologies and solutions related to virtualization, oversees development platform Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and products based on the cloud platform, OpenStack (PRF: http://www.redhat.com/ about/news/press-archive/2013/4/red-hat-announces-new-h ...)
in good microsoft I do not believe it. Just do not see their ears behind every bush. Zimbru - cool project, but does not carry them well, no - Yahoo - hardly floundering company, vmvar thought to seize midlvar, but such was not for sale, so they took what was, and when they realized shopped this project or what now telidzhent took ... let's see what they bloat. IMHO better than vmvar - if only to cut them fichery and open source version of their lost
