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]
- Establishing and promoting an active and open community of developers, users, and companies for continuously developing the open-source project collaboration software OpenProject
- Defining and developing the project vision, the code of conduct, and principles of the application
- Creating development policies and ensuring their compliance
- Defining and evolving the development and quality assurance processes
- Providing the source code to the public
- Providing and operating the OpenProject platform
The association does not pursue economic goals of its own.
History
editOpenProject 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.
