Are you thinking about switching from #Jira to #OpenProject? 🔄 Then you might want to read the story of 'Was hab' ich?', a German NGO in the #healthcare sector.
How did they migrate from Jira to OpenProject? And how well did the employees cope with this change?
We are thrilled to announce that OpenProject has been recognized as one of the top-rated affordable Project Management Software solutions by Software Advice ! 🚀 Thanks to our incredible team, community and loyal users for making this possible.
We've just released #OpenProject 14.0! 🚀🎉 We are introducing a consistent progress reporting across work package hierarchies.
Among other updates, project attributes are now listed on the project overview page. The Meetings module has been updated and there have been improvements on file storages.
🌟We are delighted to welcome Jen to our marketing team! 🚀 Her extensive open source experience is already proving invaluable as she dives into nurturing customer relationships and fostering community engagement. Join us in giving Jen a warm welcome!
Do you work as an administrator with #OpenProject? Then you should take 5 minutes now and have a look at our #CustomActions (Enterprise add-on)! You'll get those five minutes back several times over in the long term.
Question to all #software engineers (of all genders, of course):
#Microsoft offers a wide range of corporate tools, that (in parts) interact with each other, making it very comfortable for companies (of any size) to use them and thus getting "vendor locked-in".
E.g.:
Outlook connects to teams,
Edge (plans) to recommend (and connect) to teams and vice versa; logging in with MS SSO, over VPN, and so on, very strongly interconnect their different tools.
Would all that be possible - already today - using only #OpenSource tools?
With the same level of comfort and "interconnectedness" in comparably "high polished" user interfaces?
I ask, as someone some time ago stated that Microsoft would be "exceptionally good" in doing so for corporates.
@fasnix I don't think it would be possible with the 'same level of DIScomfort'... but yes with a MUCH BETTER lever of comfort. 😉
I explain. IMHO #Microsoft is a pain even with interoperability in between different versions of their own suite. By using #OpenSource applications such as #LibreOffice, #NextCloud, #OpenProject, #Thunderbird, etc., you'll be able to interoperate with others using a far more diverse landscape of systems and applications, including Linux, Apple and old versions of Microsoft applications that they don't support themselves any more, but you'll come across all the time.
I moved away from Microsoft and used exclusively OpenSource software for almost 20 years with zero regrets.
I do this both at personal and corporate level.
The only 'downside' is that you will learn new things... 😎
To be fair, there are some niche areas where proprietary software might be the only cross-platform suitable solutions, and then you need to add those to your suite, but that has not been my experience with any of the Microsoft products at all.
Just as an indicator, on #Azure, Microsoft's own cloud computing service, 60% of the cores are running #Linux.
Now, if you are one of those people who are scared of computers, or think that software is some kind of black magic or voodoo... ok, don't try... but in any other scenario with a bit of natural curiosity, you'll be fine. 😊
What sets #OpenProject apart from #Tuleap? Both offer open source project management software, but there are of course a number of differences. To help you with your decision, we have compared the two solutions:
🎉 2024 is off to a great start for OpenProject! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that we've been awarded badges from Gartner Digital Markets, recognizing us as a top project management software! 🏆✨
We chatted with Nick at the Open Source Initiative to learn more about what they love about #OpenProject and why they chose it over other options, like #Notion and Monday.com.
💡 How to: Precise permission management with OpenProject💡
Navigate the complexities of project permissions effortlessly! With OpenProject, you can activate roles at #project level that have very granular permissions. On the other hand, you can also manage permissions at #task level using the #Share feature.
OpenProject 13.3, scheduled for February 14, includes a major upgrade to your project management experience: The introduction of a dedicated Gantt charts module.
This is the result of your feedback and the experience we have gained so far with the hidden Gantt charts in the work packages view.

Apologies I don't use #nextcloud for email myself so I'm an ignoramous.
I use it for file storage/access, but it has integrations with #HomeAssistant, #OpenProject, and myriad other nifty server applications, all of which can thus use nextcloud push to tell you things.
I assume it uses polling but I defer to any documentation you find; to be sure the battery life on my mobile phone running #DivestOS (a robust form of degoogled #android I've found suitable for daily driving) is totally fine with it.
Have you ever wondered how #Santa Claus organizes his present distribution? Wish lists must be checked, reindeer must be fed,... and much more to manage right before #Christmas! Fortunately, Santa Claus discovered #OpenProject some time ago. 😎 🎄

A thing that I would love to get across about unpaid tech work, rolling your own [x], and running only the purest and most secure technical systems, is that if you add up enough factors like:
raising kids;
chronic illness or disability;
caring for sick, disabled, or dying family members;
community service;
a non-technical job
…just for starters, the tech stuff is going to get triaged way down the list. And a lot of those factors are not evenly distributed, demographically!
