[Kolab-devel] important news on Kolab Enterprise and Community editions

[Aaron J. Seigo]

Hello!

I am excited and pleased to share with you some very big news as we come to 
the end of 2015: we here at Kolab Systems have decided to focus on producing 
one high-quality set of Kolab releases and packages for all to enjoy, use and 
benefit from.

Yes, this means that we are erasing the difference between Enterprise and 
Community editions of Kolab, to bring the best of both worlds to, well, the 
world!

Jeroen is away in the Netherlands for the holiday season, and I am busy with 
assembling year-end retrospectives for us to plan with .. but in January we 
will be engaging with community members at large to build a shared roadmap and 
figuring out the best way for us all to coordinate release and packaging 
efforts.

This should not take the wind out of the sails of the Kolab 3.5 efforts 
Timotheus has been spearheading .. in fact, it will put even more wind in them 
by bringing all of our efforts together to one end product. Huzzah!

You can read more about this on my blog:

https://exote.ch/blogs/aseigo/2015/12/15/streamlining-the-kolab-release-strategy/

.. which also links to a couple of Jeroen's blog entries on the topic.

The next few blog entries on my blog will cover our plans for a reboot of 
kolab.org and partner enablement ... all of this is set to come together in 
the first months of 2016 to add some serious horsepower into the Kolab 
ecosystem.

Questions, feedback, ideas, etc .. all welcome.. .and look for a Doodle in 
early January for scheduling an "all-hands" community meeting around Kolab!
