First Look: Hula Mail and Calendar Server

In my opinion Hula will not only succeed - and likely dominate among the open source alternatives - because of the attitude which places the user first, but because it has been kick-started by Novell, distributor of the popular SUSE Linux distribution. Novell has contributed significantly to the Linux desktop and gained popularity with projects such as XGL, Compiz and the new 'Computer' menu for Gnome.
