Hey Guys-
Thanks for the thoughts. I want you to know that we have read each and every one.
If you ever want to chat one on one, feel free to e-mail me:
jholder@zimbra.com with questions or concerns. I'll make sure they get heard.
While I wish I had better answers for you about everything here, here's what I can say that I know:
This deal isn't only about Yahoo expanding, but also about Zimbra expanding.
Just like Comcast, it isn't only about the money. I don't think a single person today @ Zimbra has said: "Yippie, I have Zimbra Stock".
This is about
: "What puts Zimbra in the best position to provide the very best technologies to our customers, both FOSS and Network Editions?"
We're not being eaten by Yahoo, we're joining forces. We're a team now. Yahoo has it's faults, and Zimbra has it's faults. Together as a team, we'll be able to contend and be a better solution than other e-mail providers.
Some of you (myself included) have been with the Zimbra Community since Zimbra started and have an investment here. Personally: of all the possible companies that could have bought us, I'm glad it was Yahoo.
We have a commitment to you, and we're going to live up to it. I'll personally make sure of that.
Sincerely,
john
