2 July - Zarafa Summercamp Cement Position at Top of European Open Source Vendor Events
Am Freitag, den 18. Juni, endete das Zarafa Summercamp 2010 - eine 2-Tages-Konferenz, die wiederholt viele Interessenten anzog. Die Konferenz zementierte Ihre Position am Gipfel der Veranstaltungen europäischer OpenSource-Hersteller. Nicht nur die Teilnehmerzahl erhöhte sich zum vierten Mal in Folge deutlich, es gab auch einen noch intensiveren Austausch mit der Community und Partnern.
Die Konferenz war wieder einmal ein Magnet für Entwickler, Technologie- und Geschäftspartner, Kunden und Journalisten aus der ganzen Welt. Mehr als 250 Teilnehmer fanden sich in Brüssel ein, um das Aktuellste über Zarafas Wachstum und Produktvisionen zu erfahren, sowie das Zarafa Archiving (ZA) und die Freigabe des neuen Integration-Frameworks, http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/Python_API, kennen zu lernen.
Zarafa CEO Brian Joseph ist überzeugt, dass Zarafa auf dem richtigen Weg ist: "Das OpenSource-Ecosystem wurde auf unserem Summercamp sehr gut repräsentiert und gab der Konferenz noch einmal einen richtigen Anschub. In der kürzlich veröffentlichten weltweiten VAR-Guy-Studie über OpenSource-Unternehmen wurde Zarafa auf Platz 11 gewertet, http://www.thevarguy.com/the-open-source-50. Dies zeigt, dass Zarafa die richtigen Schritte gegangen ist, einer der größten OpenSource-Hersteller zu sein".
Nach der inspirierenden Keynote von Steven Schuurman, Mitbegründer der SpringSource und CEO von JTeam, diskutierten OpenSource-Integratoren an runden Tischen ihre Erfolgsrezepte, wie z.B. die Benutzung von SSD-Storages.
Der zweite, technischer gehaltene Tag des Summercamps begann mit der Veröffentlichung des Ergebnisses der Zarafa Virtual Machine Competition. Helmuth Neuberger, Initiator des Wettbewerbes und CEO der Zarafa Deutschland GmbH: "Mit Hilfe der virtuellen Maschinen war es möglich, in wenigen Tagen auch sehr komplexe Integrationen von Lösungen rund um die Zarafa Collaboration Software herunterzuladen und zu testen. Eine Bewertung der eingereichten Integrationen auf herkömmlichem Wege hätte vermutlich sehr viel Zeit eines sehr erfahrenen Technikers benötigt. Durch die virtuellen Maschinen konnten die Integrationen von Junior-Technikern aufgesetzt werden und die Jury investierte nur wenige Stunden Zeit in die Entscheidung. Dies zeigt deutlich eine der Stärken der Virtualisierung". Die drei Gewinner in den Kategorien sind: Linet Services GmbH (Kategorie: Up-sell & Scale-up), bitbone AG (Kategorie: Suitable for daily use) und die Collax GmbH (Kategorie: Cool add-ons).
Außerdem vergab Zarafa wieder die jährlichen Zarafa Summercamp Awards:
1. Best Community Contribution - Robert Scheck
2. Best Integration Contribution - Catworkx
3. Zarafa Partner of the Year - Millenux
4. Most Contributing Partner to Zarafa Suggestions and Tools - Uniwan
5. Zarafa Evangelist of the Year - Sander Mittertreiner, Dutch Patent Office

18 June - Zarafa's New Integration Framework to Support Wave of Open Source Integrations
At the second day of its Summercamp, the Dutch mobile messaging and collaboration specialist Zarafa launches an integration framework that will give the open source community and commercial integrations with Zarafa's Collaboration Platform a next big boost.
Next to the recently packaging with community distributions like Fedora, Zarafa reports that 50% of the open source Zarafa contributions are initiated and effectuated by commercial integrators, at the request of their customers. Today catWorkX, Zarafa's new German Gold Partner, will showcase its open source integrations like the Jira plugin and the LDAP Connector at Zarafa's Summercamp. The framework of this Connector offers LDAP based access to all Zarafa contacts in all user stores as well as in Public Folders. With this Connector it is possible to use a wide range of native fat clients like Thunderbird, Mac Mail and Mac Addressbook to act as a complete non-MAPI Zarafa Client.
Zarafa facilitates the boost of open source and commercial integrations by launching an integration framework, http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/Python_API, based on Swig, which makes it easy to connect calendars, mail, contacts and tasks to any developer language. The first examples are worked out in Python.
The Zarafa Python Language bindings allow programmers to use the high-level Python programming language to interface with Zarafa's core technology MAPI. This enables developers to rapidly create tools, applications and plugins for the existing Zarafa Collaboration Platform. And entry-level engineers can use it to easily create programs like performance analysis or e-mail filtering without needing in-depth knowledge of complex programming languages.

17 June - Zarafa’s New E-mail Archiving Enables Customers to Optimize Storage Capacity
Presented to more than 200 Zarafa Summercamp participants in Brussels
Today, at the first day of its yearly held and well visited Summercamp, the Dutch mobile messaging and collaboration specialist Zarafa presents its new Zarafa Archiver (ZA).
By using ZA, mail store sizes are minimized by moving old messages to slow and thus cheap storage. Once a message is archived it can be deleted from the original store. Optionally a stub to the archive can be created that allows a user to actually see the archived message and open it as if it were a normal message. An alternate way of opening archived messages is to open the archive as a shared store in Outlook or the Webaccess. Follow this hyperlink to see what an archived e-mail in an Inbox looks like:
Zarafa's archiving solution leverages existing technology used by Zarafa; once installed on the server, it requires no additional software rollout and uses existing Zarafa configuration and setup procedures for setting up the archive. This also includes support for compressed attachments and single sign-on. ZA also enables to search in parallel using the resources of multiple servers arranged in a cluster. Therefore, this solution is typically interesting for enterprises with thousands of users.
Brian Joseph, CEO of Zarafa, and Steve Hardy, CTO of Zarafa will showcase ZA to more than 200 enthusiastic and devoted Summercamp participants ranging from community members to business and technology partners, journalists and customers from all over the world. Zarafa is organising this 2-day, international event for the third year in a row. Besides archiving, this year’s main topics are virtualisation, a preview of Zarafa Webaccess 7, customer views on migrations and open source community Webaccess integrations.
