Zarafa's New Integration Framework to Support Wave of Open Source Integrations
Integration framework from Dutch mobile messaging and collaboration specialist Zarafa launched on second day of its Summercamp

CARY, NC, June 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At the second day of its Summercamp, the Dutch mobile messaging and collaboration specialist Zarafa launches an integration framework that will give the open source community and commercial integrations with Zarafa's Collaboration Platform a next big boost.

Next to the recently packaging with community distributions like Fedora, Zarafa reports that 50% of the open source Zarafa contributions are initiated and effectuated by commercial integrators, at the request of their customers. Today catWorkX, Zarafa's new German Gold Partner, will showcase its open source integrations like the Jira plugin and the LDAP Connector at Zarafa's Summercamp. The framework of this Connector offers LDAP based access to all Zarafa contacts in all user stores as well as in Public Folders. With this Connector it is possible to use a wide range of native fat clients like Thunderbird, Mac Mail and Mac Addressbook to act as a complete non-MAPI Zarafa Client.

Zarafa facilitates the boost of open source and commercial integrations by launching an integration framework, http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/Python_API, based on Swig, which makes it easy to connect calendars, mail, contacts and tasks to any developer language. The first examples are worked out in Phyton.

The Zarafa Phyton Language bindings allow programmers to use the high-level Phyton programming language to interface with Zarafa's core technology MAPI. This enables developers to rapidly create tools, applications and plugins for the existing Zarafa Collaboration Platform. And entry-level engineers can use it to easily create programs like performance analysis or e-mail filtering without needing in-depth knowledge of complex programming languages.
