OpenProject Foundation

[edit]

The OpenProject Foundation was established by OpenProject's developers and users in October 2012.[7] After founding the association in April 2013, it was registered (VR 32487) in the Amtsgericht (local court) of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (district of Berlin) in June of the same year.

The association provides an organizational framework for technical decisions and the propagation, acceleration, and perpetuation of development by the worldwide community and by a full-time development team, funded by the members of the OpenProject Foundation.

The association aims at the following objectives:[8]

  1. Establishing and promoting an active and open community of developers, users, and companies for continuously developing the open-source project collaboration software OpenProject
  2. Defining and developing the project vision, the code of conduct, and principles of the application
  3. Creating development policies and ensuring their compliance
  4. Defining and evolving the development and quality assurance processes
  5. Providing the source code to the public
  6. Providing and operating the OpenProject platform

The association does not pursue economic goals of its own.

History

[edit]

OpenProject has been developed since 2010 along with its ancestor project ChiliProject.[9] The initial motivation for this fork was the OPF founding members' performance, security, and accessibility requirements, which could not be easily reached by plugins for either Redmine or ChiliProject.

Awards

[edit]

In August 2011, OpenProject won the first prize in the category "Best Practice" of the open source competition of the Berlin Technology Foundation "Berlin's future is open".[10] [11]

In April 2018, OpenProject won the INNOVATIONSPREIS-IT 2018 of the Initiative Mittelstand in the category Open Source.[12]
