About three months began Stefano Stabellini and some other developers trying to port the Xen hypervisor on the ARMv7 Cortex-A15. Meanwhile, the project has progressed, that start on a Linux 3.0 based virtual machine can be.

How Stabellini in a notification announced that due to emerging Xen porting for ARM Cortex-A15 architectures on Xen unstable and has been completely rewritten for the latest virtualisation technologies, LPAE, GIC and Generic timer to support the hardware. The developers are already capable of a virtual machine on a Linux system with a 3.0 kernel to execute command line prompt and to emulate an A15-based Versatile Express Developer Board.

The developer Robert Scheck has introduced a free PAM module that can authenticate Linux users against Zarafa.
The Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) serves as a link in scenarios where, apart from the Zarafa groupware a Linux SMTP server for outgoing mail in the game. In order to avoid an open relay SMTP servers require this to authenticate the sender. This often happens through the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), but the user can not use Zarafa database. This gap would be filled with his check module: Pam_mapi authenticates the user via Zarafa MAPI interface. Since this is a generic PAM module, it can be next to SMTP for the application to use for other services, for example, Samba or the Apache Web server.
