It's really great to see updates to OpenProj. I was thinking it was probably dead in the water.

I was also hoping to see a Recent Files menu/icon somewhere so I don't need to keep browsing around to open my projects. Any chance of adding that for the final release?

The North, Central and South  American user community has been very strong with early downloads and involvement.  It is very much appreciated!  We have downloads now in every country except Suriname.  If you have any friends in Suriname, alert them of ProjectLibre!

I wanted to update the ProjectLibre community on the progress with the beta program.  The Community has been terrific in sending feedback and even project files with errors.  This has helped the team quickly identify issues and make fixes.

The community has been terrific in assisting us with the beta release of ProjectLibre. We did a complete re-write of most existing code.  This went well but the errors being identified by the community are very helpful.

Gostaria de me apresentar,

Meu nome é Lindomar Oliveira, sou brasileiro, trabalho com projetos de TI e sou usuário de longa data da ferramenta OpenProj, ainda quando a Serena disponibilizava o mesmo em seu site.

The ProjectLibre team is very happy to announce the beta version will be available for download on Thursday.  We need your help in promoting the availability!  There are many updates that have occurred over the past serveral months.

The ProjectLibre team is pleased to announce the source code for ProjectLibre has been posted for the public.  We have posted it at the Sourceforge project site.

A quick update on the progress with the ProjectLibre release.  We are seeing great progress and I just received the latest version. There are some pesky bugs in the ribbon UI that preclude downloads quite yet but we are on target to release this month.  I am including a screenshot.

The OpenProj team has a long history in project management dating back to the mainframe and DOS days.  Marc O'Brien even worked with IBM 3090 versions of project sheduling software.  Laurent Chretienneau worked on the first internet PERT chart (Network Diagram).  These guys are old!!!!!!
