Redmine Forked (ChiliProject)

Oh boy. Redmine has been forked now? There are many, many comments here, which I’ll be reading through. I’m a fan of Redmine, and I fully intend to continue using it.

There are certainly a number of alternatives out there, but the appeal of Redmine is that it is widely used, and as such, all the plugins you could ever ask for have already been created. I also like its high level of configuration and the fact that it works well for multiple projects (unlike Trac, which I loved until the day I saw Redmine).

I’m With Jenkins

It all started back in December, when Oracle claimed to own Hudson.

From SD Times blog:

It’s official: Hudson has been forked. The “real” Hudson is now called Jenkins. Of course, Oracle will say they’ve got the “real” Hudson because they’ve inherited the name. Or, rather, they’ve sat down upon the name and made it impossible for anyone to pull the project out from under them.

What a mess. I wonder when the folks at Oracle will realize that open source projects will continue on their merry way.
