From May 5th to 7th, 2010, OpenChange will participate to the samba eXPerience conference in Göttingen (Germany). Julien Kerihuel will present a talk entitled OpenChange: Ambitious ace of spades.

FLOSS developers working on closed source solutions replacement are in many aspects similar to magicians. First, they both try to understand and reproduce existing routines. Finally when the secret is revealed, they try to figure out a way to improve or revolutionize it and take it to the next level.

This parallel will be used along the talk to illustrate OpenChange progresses since last SambaXP: MAPI development libraries and OpenChange server status, impact of Exchange documentation on development, etc.
 

A new screencast about OpenChange Server is now available!

This screencast offers an overview of the setup, configuration and use of the OpenChange server. The demonstration focuses on  following the different steps required to run an OpenChange server with samba4.The last part of the screencast uses openchangeclient and Outlook with OpenChange server.

You can access the screencast through the Documentation > Screencast section.

OpenChange at linux.conf.au 2010!

Jelmer Vernooij and Brad Hards from the OpenChange project will be convening a "Birds of a Feather" or BoF session at linux.conf.au 2010. The OpenChange BoF will be held 15:45 - 16:30 on Friday 22 January 2010.

We'll be answering questions and showing off the latest state of OpenChange. For more information, check the linux.conf.au 2010 website, and add your notes to the OpenChange BoF page

We'd like to see lots of you there! However if you can't make the BoF session, or have something you'd like to discuss, we'll both be attending the conference, and shouldn't be too hard to find.

The OpenChange team is happy to wish you a happy new 2010 year!

On December, 24^th 2009 OpenChange was releasing its 0.9 COCHRANE release. To start this year the best way possible, we have  decided to  design and launch a new website. We wish you find it nicer, easier to read and browse than the older one. Sections have been factorized again to make information easier to find and the website now includes more interactive components.

In the Developers section (by clicking on developer or community forum item), you will access an online forum (with registration) where you can ask questions.

Finally we have added a Frequently Asked Questions item in the Documentation section which will evolve over time.

The OpenChange project team is happy to announce a new release (0.9) is now available for download.

This release is designed to work with the "alpha 10" release of Samba4. OpenChange 0.9 provides native Exchange 2010 and encrypted communications support, compiles on a wider range of architectures and operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux and OpenSolaris are regularly tested), implements new MAPI Remote Operations, fixes many memory leaks and bugs and much more. See the release notes for further information.
