Good evening, My name is Julien Kerihuel, founder of the OpenChange project and CTO of Zentyal SL. Zentyal is a Linux server that offers an easy-to-use native replacement for both Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange Server. As Zentyal SL and Inverse are collaborating since 2013 to provide improved OpenChange-SOGo integration, I was invited to send this email to give you a status update of the project.
As of today, if you wanted to deploy SOGo-OpenChange-Samba4 combination,
you had the opportunity to either follow tutorials, execute scripts or
run virtual machines. All these efforts are immensely useful and I am
delighted to see this work being taken over by the community and
actively maintained. I have however always been convinced of the
necessity for OpenChange to provide a frontend UI to its users in order
to ease the global deployment. This is exactly what Zentyal is
providing.
In December 2013, OpenChange was officially launched into Zentyal Server
3.3 and we are really getting to the point where your can deploy the
full solution in a matter of minutes (e.g. OpenChange, Samba4, SOGo,
Dovecot, Postfix).
We, not only, integrate technology but contribute actively. Among last
months, we have introduced or are working on new features in OpenChange
such as:
- Multi-Language support for mailboxes (WIP)
- Out Of Office support (WIP)
- Virtual domain hosting
- Provision and deployment as an additional Microsoft Exchange
Server in your organization
- Roundcube webmail interface with PHP MAPI bindings support
- Easy reporting powered by Ubuntu apport
- RPC over HTTP client side implementation in Samba4
Feature integration will progressively enter OpenChange master
repository within next months.
Last but not least, we are also actively working on quality assurance
and automatic deployment and test cases scenarios with all Microsoft
Outlook versions and Zentyal server.
We would like to invite you to test the latest Zentyal Server edition
(Zentyal 3.3), released under the GPLv2 license and freely available for
download at:

Julien.
