Novell drops Hula efforts

I remember when Hula launched a few years ago at LinuxWorld and it was all the rage--sadly the project is no longer being funded by Novell. Truth be told, Zimbra and some of the other OSS MS Exchange replacements are far better than Hula ever was. It's just disappointing to see a promising technology from Novell bite the dust.


The quick synopsis is, Novell no longer has anyone working full-time on Hula. As a team we have spent some time looking at where the Hula
project is and the opportunities in the market and in the end we had to conclude that we couldn't justify investing at the same level in Hula going forward. So those of us who have been developing Hula full-time will be moving on to other roles and to other parts of the company.
