THE NETHERLANDS, June 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Zarafa, the leading European provider of open source groupware and collaboration software, has launched the Zarafa Community Hub, accessible through http://www.zarafa-community.org.This new community site enables partners and Zarafa Community members to manage their contributions such as extensions and plugins.

With this dedicated outlet for all community people involved, we aim at optimizing interaction and sharing knowledge".

To give the Zarafa ecosystem another impulse, the open source groupware vendor has introduced a new certifications program for integrations, http://www.zarafa.com/content/zarafa-certified-zarafa-ready-integrations.
