Bongo is an open source or free software mail and calendar project. Unlike many other projects doing similar development, Bongo states that it is not attempting to create an "enterprise" solution designed for large businesses, but software more accessible to the needs of small groups of people and individuals. Bongo isn't supported or sponsored by any commercial entity at this point. It is alpha-level software, which its FAQ describes as not suitable for production. It runs on several Linux distributions. Bongo descends from the Hula project. On November 28, 2006, Novell announced that they would no longer work on Hula full-time. At that time, the community that had developed around Hula attempted to continue the project, and Nat Friedman later announced that the community would take the project forward in an audio interview he did with LUGRadio in the UK. However, that proved to be a short-lived episode in the project's life, as in January 2007 Novell announced that they would be selling the Netmail business to Messaging Architects. In January 2007, the Bongo Project was launched, albeit without formal announcement. The first "official" word from the project came in February 2007,
