In stead of us speculating about what to expect from Alinto, it would be
helpful if the team of Alinto that takes over the Sogo code would join
the list and express their plans.
It is only a few months until Alinto takes over and I have not seen much
about from their side yet. There is just the EOL message from Inverse
and a pretty brief statement on Alinto's website. It leaves me with a
lot of questions on how Sogo will be developed in the future and if it
remains to be open source at all? And indeed what will happen to side
products as the Sogo-connector...? Is it time to fork the code or should
we start to look for a different solution and make a migration plan?
Alinto, please join this list, help to provide answers and take part in
the discussions!

I'm not working for Alinto, the company which takes over maintenance
of SOGo. However, I've talked to a sales representative some months
ago as we were inquiring for a support license, and they told me that
they are relocating the development of SOGo (server) to France, and
would continue development. We didn't talk about the sogo-connector
specifically though. Do you have specific indications that they will
stop development of sogo-connector? It would be a pity, especially
because TB is getting a major overhaul since about 2 years.
No. No specific indications. However their product is:
"SOGomail by Alinto"
Powerful business-class mail Server for organisations that are looking
for a proven European alternative.
And I don't see any indication that they will support Thunderbird.
Come to that support from Inverse was not really enthusiastic in the
last release.
As mentioned our best bet is to work to get most of this into TB
itself or a lightweight addon.
