I mean, admittedly you have to scroll down to the second half of the (long) page, but the "Code repository on Github" link goes straight to the github project page for me...

Only one of the security issues seems to be unfixed, the others all have patch versions.

I'm still waiting for an open-source self hostable alternative to Basecamp. Simple lists and hill charts. Has anyone run across something like this?

Do any of these fit the bill? Plane: https://plane.so/ Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ Taiga: https://taiga.io/ Redmine (which OpenProject is a fork of): https://www.redmine.org/ Teambox: https://www.teambox.com/ GitLab (more than just issues): https://about.gitlab.com/

Which one would be best fitting a replacement for Azure DevOps?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reading this, I had a little laugh after reading the entire spiel about increasing intuitivness and the first point is renaming issues (universally understood) to "work packages" (what?). Maybe it's just me :) overall it looks like quite the overhaul from its redmine roots. A lot of what I had to hunt for in paid redmine plug-ins years ago is just a core feature in OpenProject.

It's been a long time, but looking at my email invoices it was Abacus[1] for modernizing the frontend and a bunch of plugins from redmineup[2] like Agile and Resource, which appear to be default OpenProject features ("Board" & "Planner").

Agreed. In traditional terms, they're using a .org domain as a .com. The old rules aren't enforced, but they still hold some meaning. It sounds like they want to do a "community edition", so they could just do it from a .com, and set expectations appropriately. If they instead wanted to have a community-developed open source project, but also sell derived/layered products, they might set up a community governance str…

Only to techies. And I'd say only to those who were techies back in the 90's or earlier.

All the other people very likely have no clue why there are all these different TLDs. And for people outside the USA, UK and AU, .com Just means it's an English (as in language) website.

Hey nisten,

- Where did you find a broken link to our GitHub account and repositories on openproject.org? Appreciate your help in case our page is not correct. - What 3 year old security vulnerabilities in our angular code part are you talking about? Would you mind sharing a link? - OpenProject is fully open source (GPL 3), not half. You can host it yourself. And if you prefer it, you can get hosted by us, which for many organizations is cheaper than doing the hosting themselves. - Regarding your doubts about our trustworthiness: Have you checked who is using OpenProject? Siemens, the German railway company Deutsche Bahn, the City of Cologne, Audi, Hyandai, MIT, Greenpeace... On GitHub we have 2.2k forks, and 8.5k stars.

Peace!

This project was picked up (and forked) by Rosatom for its internal Jira replacement after they got cut off from Jira in spring of 2022. No idea how many changes they introduced, but I guess OpenProject should be powerful enough (or at least provide a powerful enough base to build upon) to handle giant projects at their scale. The fork is not publicly accessible, although they do conform to the GPL and provide the so…

Thank you for the intersting link. If you checkout our GitHub repository you see that there are 2.2k forks. We don't keep track on all of them.

And yes, it is true that OpenProject is used as an alternative to Jira. Mainly for two reasons: OpenProject is made with data sovereignty in mind. And Atlassion pulled Jira's self hosted option off their shelves. And the other reason is pricing, I guess.
