    They have “Enterprise” features that don’t appear to be “open source”. It’s “Open Source”, but only the simple parts we didn’t think were big money makers?

    oh wow… another semi-open source project management software. another one! Just what we waited for!

    Like Open Project, Leantime, Taiga, etc. etc.

    God damn it, build one fully open source and free or update Redmine properly.

    How are projects like this created?

    This github repo is 6 months old, they already have 18+k stars and over 800 forks.

    This looks like some overfunded pseudo-FOSS shit. Make the bare minimum open source and sell the rest to enterprises.

    Why not take the money and really fund an existing project like kanboard or redmine?

    I mean ffs kanboard is at least 10 years old and has less than 8k stars on github.

        With $4M you could round the edges and then some.

        I think that open source people should also be able to recognize that always sponsoring a new project is not the open source way.
        They could have given established software a facelift and added a lot more features and this would have been better for the open source world than what they did.

        I mean it’s not wrong what they did. They just shouldn’t get as much praise for making it open source.
        Imagine everyone creating their own versioning system because they don’t like githubs frontend.

          I have no problem with that if they offer something new to the space

            Yes, but the only thing they add is enterprise addons. We don’t need more of those.

    I’m Happy to see more competition for jira. Jira has been around for 20 years but honestly it looks and acts the same as it did 20 years ago, except slower if you had the sense to provision it well on bare metal back then. The jira in the cloud experience at many companies has been less than stellar.
