CollabNet is a company that sells application lifecycle management software for distributed development teams engaged in both enterprise and open source development.
History
CollabNet was founded in July, 1999 by Tim O'Reilly and Brian Behlendorf, co-founder of the Apache project. Bill Portelli joined CollabNet as its founding CEO in August, 1999, and still holds that position.
CollabNet was founded with the goal of extending the principles and tools used in open source projects such as the Apache Web Server and Linux into the commercial enterprise, where greater innovation and leverage could be achieved given the resources of those organizations. These open source development tools were evolved into CollabNet's commercial product - TeamForge. In addition, CollabNet created a set of practices it calls “Inner Source” – a solution set and deployment methodology that focuses on meeting key software engineering challenges in corporations by bringing the open source development methods to its community of developers – inside and outside of their company.
In 2000, CollabNet started the open source project Subversion, a version control system[1] with over 5 million users. CollabNet has over 800 enterprise customers and over 1.9 million users.
CollabNet's products
Commercial Versions
CollabNet Subversion[2] is CollabNet's distribution of Subversion for Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris. CollabNet Subversion comes with extras such as ViewVC and an out-of-the-box recommended configuration of Subversion.
CollabNet's core product, CollabNet TeamForge[3], specifically targets Application Lifecycle Management for distributed software teams. TeamForge is an integrated web based platform that enables these teams to work collaboratively through the various stages of the ALM lifecycle - Plan, Code, Track, Build and Test, Lab Management, Release, Report, and Collaborate.
CollabNet Lab Management[4]
, an option to CollabNet TeamForge, is a cloud based service that enables IT users to configure environments, upload software assets, set up and tear down lab environments, and manage projects. Lab Management provisions from a pool of virtual and physical servers in your private corporate data center or a public cloud, like Amazon EC2 and CollabNet OnDemand.
Other Open Source Projects
Aside from sponsoring Subversion, CollabNet also produces the open source CollabNet Desktop - Eclipse Edition, released under the Eclipse Public License. This software integrates with the Eclipse programming environment and allows developers to connect to subversion repositories as well as servers running CollabNet TeamForge, and CollabNet Lab Management. CollabNet also provides Certified Integrationsas either open or shared source to both technical and business users that enable the integration of vendor and home-grown software development lifecycle tools into the CollabNet Platform.
