There have been questions recently about the status of the Hula project, and I apologize for the silence while things have been sorted out on Novell's end.
The quick synopsis is, Novell no longer has anyone working full-time on Hula...

I believe GroupWise is the product that directly competes with Microsoft Exchange, not Hula.
Please look into Novell's entire product line before posting such FUD.

Novell abandons open source Exchange competitor
Software vendor discovers that the world doesn't need another email server
Tom Sanders in California, vnunet.com 29 Nov 2006
Novell has axed support for the Hula open source collaboration suite for email, calendaring and contact lists.
The company decided to pull its developers off the project because the software lacks opportunities in the market.

I don't profess to be an expert on the Novell product line, or the Microsoft one for that matter, but email calendaring and contact lists sounds alot like exchange.
Thank you for the clarification.
Alyssa Rosenzweig is the graphics witch behind the reverse-engineered drivers for the Apple GPU. She previously led Panfrost, the free drivers for Arm Mali GPUs powering devices like the Pinebook Pro. She graduated in 2023 with a Computer Science degree from the University of Toronto and now writes free software full-time.
Now we have a project started primarily by Red Hat (and managed by Microsoft GitHub, which is proprietary) being managed by Microsoft and primarily serving Microsoft and IBM
