Oki-doki, time to move. Does anyone know or, better yet, use any good self-hosted Trello alternatives?
Try Active Collab. It does wonders for my team.
Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M

Re: Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M
#92I'm a big fan of Trello and Atlassian both. Personally speaking, if all they do is take away the crippling "add on" restrictions in Trello for solo users, this will be a huge win.

#94Is Slack next? Could they afford that?

#95So... it's going to stop being free and start sucking?
What, you don't like decade+ old highly useful and yet ignored issues?[0][1] [0] https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1369 [1] https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3821 PS: Here's a bonus issue that took 10 years to resolve (renaming users!): https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1549
That's been my experience working with JIRA the past few months. Bug after bug and always a bug report with someone begging for a fix and being ignored.

#96So Fog Creek - makers of Fogbugz, which lost out bigtime to JIRA - have now sold Trello to Atlassian? Is there nothing left of Fogbugz?
Nothing but this here big steaming nine-figure pile of cash...

#97There's an open source clone of Trello that you can self-host: https://wekan.io/

#98This makes sense. Atlassian is good at making money from its services and it is increasing its overall ecosystem here. Github moves really slow in comparison. I guess Github is more focused, but there are a lot of contrasts between Github and Atlassian, and in terms of making money I think Atlassian is doing a lot better. Has Github acquired anything significant? Github should have acquired Zenhub (which is Trello in…
It makes sense mainly because Trello is a competitor to Atlassian and its best to kill it now before it takes too much market share. edit: Yes right now there might not be an exact competitor but in a few years it could easily match everything Jira does.
Is Trello really a competitor though? JIRA and Trello couldn't be more different.
I'd think Trello and Asana are much closer competitors. JIRA is like an over engineered spaceship with more features than anyone could learn in a lifetime. Comparatively Trello functions more like a Prius. Priuses and spaceships don't compete.

#99Can we all start using Trello clones as the tutorial substance? So in case Atlassian screws it up, we have 100s of developers that know how to re-create it? :D
There are already lots of Trello clones:
Restyaboard: http://restya.com/board (open source, self-hosted)
Phabricator Projects https://www.phacility.com/phabricator/projects/ (open source, self-hosted, or paid hosting)
Kanban: https://kanboard.net/ (open source, self-hosted, or paid hosting)
Wekan: https://wekan.io/ (open source, self-hosted)
And no doubt, lots more not listed here...

why would they do that though?
Trello covers a market that was not really served by any Atlassian products (or rather, market segments that weren't well treated).
Trello has a huge active following, and a lot of users who would otherwise not know Atlassian products.
Getting any sort of proper cross-selling going on would be great for their ecosystem long-term. People might start at Trello, but go to Atlassian products as their team scales and need other coordination tools.
I don't think you spend $425 million to kill a "competitor", especially when that competitor has a lot of paying customers anyways.
