Thanks to several readers for pointing out a Reuters/Yahoo story discussing [0]the departure of four key employees from Warcraft and Diablo developers [1]Blizzard Entertainment. The article elaborates: "In a statement, Blizzard Entertainment said Blizzard North co-founders Erich Schaefer, Max Schaefer and David Brevik, along with a fourth employee, Bill Roper, 'resigned from the company to pursue other opportunities.'" With Bill Roper often the [2]public face of Blizzard, and the Blizzard North co-founders being the [3]original Diablo developers, this is a big deal for Blizzard owners Vivendi, as well as gamers everywhere, especially as Blizzard "is widely seen in the games industry as one of the most attractive assets of VU Games, which has been languishing on the auction block for months."

Open Source Microsoft Exchange Replacements? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/30/1743216
[0]Carl Farrington asks: "Do you think you could try to raise public
awareness of the importance for an open source replacement for
Microsoft Exchange (Outlook/MAPI compatible for shared/public folders).
Current offerings are SuSE Linux Groupware Server, Communigate Pro
(Stalker Software), Samsung Contact (ex. HP OpenMail) all of which are
not open source / free. [1]Kroupware is in development, but there will
be no Outlook Connector for it. [2]otlkcon is in slow development as a
possible connector for Kroupware. There is also [3]OSER (Open Source
Exchange Replacement) which again looks like it needs more help. Is
there any chance of getting some people to back this stuff? It's so
important and is probably the major problem facing Linux as viable
replacements for Win2000 servers." While this seems to be a [4]question
[5]that [6]keeps [7]popping up in [8]one form or [9]another, it's
always worthwhile to come back and point out alternatives, in
development, that might need your help to get off the ground and
running. So, if you're looking for an alternative to Exchange, would
you be willing to contribute some time to one of the projects listed
above? If you've been using Unix as an Exchange replacement, what did
you do and how well has it been working?
